Life with Asperger's_Michael Bowe


Michael Bowe and his parents, Joe and Lisa Bowe, meet in October with a group of faculty and learning disability specialists to discuss reducing the accommodations needed at Brimfield Grade School, where he is in 6th grade. Diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism, Michael has learned to be a self-advocate by informing teachers and others of his Asperger's syndrome and his needs. Self-advocacy will be an important part of his future as he grows up and becomes more independent. DAVID ZENTZ/JOURNAL STAR
