I apologise that I have only just got around to responding. Radio National here in Australia has regular discussions around autism and Aspergers in a number of it programs. My wife and I have been involved in working with a range of learners and we believe that it is our work with Aspergers that has helped us to clarify our passion for teaching and learning. A recent Radio National program about the establishment of a self-help group (in Ireland?) gave us even more stimulus to consider the issues you raise. Thanks! Keith Gina

Interested in how someone in Aspergers might learn to form and utilize online networks (quite a challenge for many) and how that might translate or be a model for them forming f2f networks.

That is where I post about Asperger's Syndrome (my daughter's dx) and the spectrum in general. http://ginaminks.com/ I am so excited about real connections over an issue that is so important to me! :) Ed, you may want to check out my other blog if you are looking for autism resource.

Likely outcomes of this getting through my filters? 1. I follow this blog. 2. I get more active in the CCK08 network. Ain't connectivity marvelous?

The course is already a success for me. I'm never going to delete my Twitter account again ;-) Merci Gina And I’m the one who connected with Gina’s network. The course is already a success for me.

Dodd Hall, the building that was FSU's first library, has this quote over the doors: "The half of knowledge, is knowing where to find knowledge."

Interesting articule. I saw the tweets and noticed the connection you made, it is wonderful that now you two are linked to the same support system. As the readings point out, you did not "transfer" knwledge, you shared a connection and she will use that information to fulfill her needs. Great job! Congrats! Maru Hi Gina!
