THE MAKING OF "AREA 27"

Life is full of surprises. He wasn't expecting this one. Do you know the value of kindness?
He Was Getting Prepared To Defend His Autistic Son, Until The Man In Front Said This.
Do you know the value of kindness? Some people can live such harsh lives that they may not be aware of how important this is in the world, or they may not have experienced enough of it in their lives.
Here’s a story on how one man, Rick Bruno, discovered the truth of that value.
I was in Walt Disney World with my son, Daniel, who is autistic. At the time was 7 years old. My wife and our three other sons were with us too.
He was having one of his melt-down screaming tantrums, God only knows why. So my wife and I decided I would take the bus back to the hotel, and she would stay in the park with the other three children.
And the screaming continued...
We waited for the bus as the screaming continued.
Then we got on the filled to capacity bus, and the screaming continued.
As the bus wound around the many stops it had to make before arriving at our destination, the screaming continued.
My son looks "normal". To the many people on the bus, he appeared to just be a kid screaming - or a spoiled brat who did not get his special toy that day. It did not take long - less than a minute - before the screaming prompted stares, then glares from the other passengers.
To my utter shame, I found myself losing my temper at my own son. I was embarrassed, and angry, and frustrated, and felt cheated by God for not being able to enjoy a normal vacation with our family because of this damn affliction of my son. And then I realized I was close to losing it too.
I started to wonder what life would be like without having to deal with this cross.
And just as the reactions by the other passengers was becoming most intense, a man seated just in front of me turned around to face me.
I braced myself for his onslaught of advice on how to raise a well-behaved child.
Then he said calmly, "Is he alright?"
I said, "He's autistic."
Then the man said, "It's alright." And he smiled.
That's all.
And suddenly, all the anger building up inside me was gone. I almost wept for shame at how I had felt a moment before. It no longer mattered what the other people thought.
My son was my gift from God again.
I will never forget that man, nor his small, simple act of kindness and understanding.
I truly believe he was my son's guardian angel that day, maybe mine too.

Getting back on track...
Well its been right at 2 years and we have not done much posting on here like we wanted to. So much has changed in our life's over the past two years that its going to take us some time to get everything up to speed here and even look back at how we got to the AS Dad. A lot of my time has been spent working on building my business E3 MEDIA, an Internet Marketing Company in Sacramento but more then anything else, I have spent so much time with Jayson and it has helped as he has come so far over these past three years.
We have also spent a lot of time working with some pretty awesome race teams here in Ca over the last 3 years as well. We have spent a lot of time at tracks all over the west coast and from dirt to asphalt and from circle track to road courses we have just about seen them all.
Here is a picture of LIL MAN and ME from last year when I was a spotter for Ron Suttons Winners Circle and their Modified at All American Speedway right here in Roseville, Ca.
So we will get stared here in the next couple week with moving forward with the whole reason the AS Dad is here.
So check back soon...

Asperger Syndrome
Asperger syndrome is a disablement that is fraction of the autistic spectrum. People diagnoses with this syndrome are often graded as being about the ‘higher’ end of the spectrum.
Other diagnoses on the spectrum consist of autism and high carrying out autism. Asperger syndrome and high functioning autism are often used interchangeably. Asperger syndrome is classified as a persistent developmental disorder, which means it has an effect on all aspects of a patents life.
Asperger syndrome is a delicate state – a condition “invisible” and the result is that sometimes people do not understand if someone is suffering with the disorder. As it is subtle, it is also complicated to diagnose. Asperger syndrome may often include having special interests and become anxious if the routine is interrupted.
People should understand that those who suffer from Asperger Syndrome are not the only ones struggling in the field of communication and social relationships. Everyone finds these things difficult to a certain degree and in certain situations, but people with Asperger syndrome tend to find these tasks more difficult.
According to a research Asperger syndrome affects more men than women. People can perhaps find it harder to detect social problems among women who suffer from Asperger Syndrome.
People with Asperger syndrome are more likely to have other problems such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, digestive problems and mental health problems than the rest of population.
There are many theories on the causes of Asperger syndrome, factors related to the environment, brain damage, a difficult birth or a childhood disease. Right now, researchers and scientists are not absolutely sure of the cause. Research continues but it is believed that the genetic makeup of a person plays a greater part in this disease. Like father like son.....

The Asperger Dad...
This short documentary about Asperger's Syndrome shown on TV in 2005 is about Diamond Davej's who has mild Asperger's Syndrome. It was diagnosed in 2002.
I knew I was different from the age of about 6 years old, hypotheses included - the reincarnation of King David or Pliny the Elder, a left behind Space Alien and finally mild autism (after seeing a TV documentary). Other pupils were loud and ran around randomly, while I preferred a mature intellectual life. I became interested in astronomy/science ~3 years old, so I'm told, it was my interests that made me stand out in school.
Later on in primary school, I became fascinated by mineralogy too. I found it difficult not to talk about my hobbies, one time I stopped taking for a week or two after the summer holidays, because I knew if I talked ... the bullies would again realise I was different and the bullying would start again. I was bullied badly, sometimes beaten up, for years. Bullying mostly stopped in secondary school as I found a group to hang around with.
In 1987, at 14, I went to an astronomy lecture, but due to the excitement of it all I had a panic attack and I had to leave (a panic attack over astronomy?). This began over a decade of anxiety & panic attacks and increased reclusiveness, which I completely overcame in 1998. Perhaps due to my bad experience with Astronomy, I turned to Mineral collecting.
One of isolating aspects of Asperger's is, we tend to talk at people not with people. However, in 1998, I did a 6 week geological mapping project with a friend, and I every hour or so we would sit and chat. After 4 weeks our conversations became two way. While I noticed this improvement, it also led to my growing sense oddness. This processes I am told, is called gaining insight, some young adults with Asperger's try to transition from the basic social skills of childhood to the more sophisticated social skills of adult life, but fail.
My diagnosis in 2002 was a great relief, I felt better about myself and understood myself more, I didn't feel the need to be normal so badly (that ever that is). I set up a social group in 2002, made many good friends and found a girlfriend though the group. I find people with Asperger's (I have met aver 100) are all extremely kind and interesting people. My social skills have improved allot. I graduated with a PhD in geology in 2008.
