Author weaves personal experience into Annie Books Print E-mail
Fattig shares experience with Asperger’s Syndrome By Deb Egenberger November 03, 2007 During her early elementary school years, Michelle Fattig was often placed in a box at school. “I don’t mean a figurative box,” Fattig says. “I mean a real stove box. A hole was cut out in the front to allow me to see the teacher but it was meant as a preventative measure for my incessant need to chat with my neighbors.” As a child, Fattig had no idea that she was living with Asperger’s Syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.Write Comment (0 Comments)
