Several years ago I had the awesome privilege to meet Jess.  His family came for Theraplay.  Jess has been a gift to my counseling ministry.   He has helped present to graduate classes at Harding University on the subject of Asperger's and is currently a student there.  If you are interested in the benefits of Theraplay for treating Asperger's, please give me a call at 870-238-4329.  Thanks and God Bless, Millie Lace, MSE, LPC  The following is submitted by Jess.  Please email him for any questions you may have.  See below:

 

What is Aspergers?

 What is Aspergers?  One symptom is when someone shies away from a certain group of people, not sure if he/she is comfortable around them.  That’s half of my side of the story.

 Sometimes I don’t feel accepted in a group.  Sometimes I think I should just “buzz off” and leave them alone.  I felt alone for a while and then finally I said, “Who cares about what they think?”  I’ll grow up to be a known cartoonist and an Asperger’s speaker!  That finally cheered me up and later on I would burst out of this cocoon and fly!

 I joined my school’s drama club my freshman year of high school and acted in the play that year.  Later that year, I tried out for Concert Choir and I made it!!  And if that wasn’t enough, I tried out for All-Region Choir too and made 18th chair my first semester in class!  To top it all off, I got a main part in the school play that following month. 

 Suddenly, I just went out of my way to talk to people.  One think I accomplished was my eye contact to another person.  The only way you’re going to get as far as I did is if you practice “baby steps”.  That’s my motto!
