Amber Hi John I just got done reading your book and I really loved it. It's a few days before my 30th birthday and I just found out I have Asperger's and like when you found out about yours, it's been a revelation to me. I also have been obsessed with rock music since I was 7 years old and your abilities and experience wor...king with Pink Floyd and KISS (in completely different fields) really impressed me! I just think that's the coolest thing ever. I would have never guessed that the mastermind behind Ace's crazy guitars had been under the age of 23!

Join me for a walk around Cranberry Pond to the top of Mount Toby. I took these pictures yesterday. Below that you'll find some images from the Smith College fall mum show, taken the week before.
No animals were harmed in the making of this gallery. One person was sacrificed for luck.
The other images in this gallery ...were taken here and in Vermont last month.
Woof!
Sharon Deeks Hey John!! Read your book over a year ago, and have been recommending it to people all the time ever since!!! You do such a great job explaining what Asperger's looks like, for all of us who want to understand. My son, now 18 and in College, has it as well, and is doing such a great job....Thanks for your words! ~Sharon~

Maria C Laporte The article that The Times ran on 11/12 was re-printed in today's Springfield Republican. As a therapist who works with clients all over the spectrum, this is very interesting.

A famous writer once said, "You can lead a Horticulture, but you can't make her think." How true that is. And it makes you wonder who grows plants like these . . . .The closer we get to winter, the more the New England countryside reverts to black-and white...
