Asperger Syndrome - What it Feels Like (1)
Description:
Jake, who has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome talks about the disorder.
Transcript:
Asperger Syndrome, well it’s part of the Autistic Spectrum, and I was diagnosed with it just before I turned nine and an eighth, so as I was finishing year four, when I was at my old junior school. I can’t describe what it feels like, but I just know in my mind that I’m different.
