Springtime for Autism
Newport, Jerry
Exceptional Parent, v37 n4 p20-21 Apr 2007
The author always looks forward to spring, and he's not the only person on the ASD spectrum who feels that way. Often, adult peers report on-line and in person that the relatively short days of winter add to feelings of depression. The beginning of spring means that the annual progress of sunlight from its December low to the June high has reached a halfway point. Spring, in nature, is the time for new life and an annual time of renewed hope. In this article, the author, who is diagnosed with asperger syndrome, shares what he feels during springtime and describes what spring meant to him.
