College and Asperger's/autism

A few weeks ago I was a guest on "Food for Thought," a radio program hosted by Dr. Larry Bronstein and Deborah Alecson on WBCR-lp, Berkshire Community Radio out of Great Barrington, MA.  I talked mostly about college students and Asperger's including comments on mentoring, social problems, dating, and speechmatch. 

Deborah kindly sent me a CD with a windows file of the program.  Here it is in its entirety:

Behavior Concepts is a blog kept by Rana and Andrew Houvouras. I thought of you when I saw this post and wanted to share it with you:

I Would Never Know _______ Without Autism.

"This one will probably grow as I continue to think about how my life has been shaped. Would love to hear others’ replies and will post them.

I would never know how to use a computer. In 1995, as a graduate student, a 14 year old boy with autism taught me (actually helped me overcome my fear) how to use the internet and MS Word at the Marshall Univeristy library. Thanks John. This blog wouldn’t have come into existence without you."

Does anyone on this blog have a child or know of a child that attends Orion Academy in Moraga, CA. I am trying learn more about the school before signing on the dotted line. Have seen the school and everything looked great, but then again not everything that looks great really is.

Thanks for your help
