Autism Awareness - Ties that Bind

When her son Leo was diagnosed with Asperger's at age seven, Jo Case wondered whether the syndrome might explain traits she and her father also have.

The psychologist, Naomi, seems youngish for an expert. She wears thick, rectangular-framed glasses and a long, tapered cardigan. She is both warm and brisk, her manner reflecting the fact that her time is costing us a great deal of money.
She asks a series of questions about Leo. Is he impervious to pain? No, I say. Yes, says Leo's father (and my ex), Mark. Our son is very stoic. He often doesn't realise he's hurt himself until I comment on it.
