Ictus 75: It's really a shame that Asperger syndrome was finally recognized in 1994 - I think life would have been a lot easier for many undiagnosed people - and for their loved ones. I've always loved my brother - but reading up on Asperger syndrome made me love him even more. It breaks my heart th...
