Column: Aspergers Syndrome and Me
 Listen to the item
Luke Jackson is 15 and has been diagnosed as having Asperger Syndrome. The symptoms definitely set him apart from others. It’s led to trouble at school both with the teachers and his classmates.
Luke’s also got six brothers and sisters. One of his brothers has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, and another is autistic. But Luke isn’t the sort to let life get him down.
'Freaks, Geeks and Aspergers Syndrome: A User Guide to Adolescence' by Luke Jackson is published by Jessica Kingsley; ISBN: 1843100983
