The New Psychology



I was very impressed with Milton Broom's discussion last month. His avatar is a proxy for University of Derby Research and Teaching in the 3D multi-user virtual environment 'Second Life'--see www.miltonbroome.com) and he delivered an excellent training on Aspergers Syndrome/Autism last month at the Autism Society of America.

It is interesting to see a Pyschologist to discuss and inform a group that might not otherwise access this help due to the very nature of their disability. Following Milton's presentation, there was an interesting reaction and discussion from the audience which confirmed much of what was discussed with anecdotal information from the viewpoint of those who live daily with autism.

The society was very welcoming to me, an outsider.
