Life with Asperger's_Jonathan Banina


Defined as a less debilitating form of autism, Asperger's syndrome still has its fair share of difficulties for three families dealing with it in the Peoria area. Here, Jonathan Bananina, 4, reacts violently to having his teeth cleaned as his mother struggles to hold on to him. Diagnosed a year ago, Jonathan suffers from a combination of Asperger's and an undiagnosed mood disorder.
