1-18-10: Parallel Play: Growing Up with Undiagnosed Asperger’s

Tim Page, who splits his time between Los Angeles and Baltimore, won a Pulitzer Prize in 1997.  The Pulitzer board called his work as classical music critic of the Washington Post “lucid and illuminating.”  Three years later, at age 45, Tim Page was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, a mild form of autism.  He’s written a personal chronicle of his early life and called it:   Parallel Play:  Growing Up with Undiagnosed Asperger’s. He talks to Sheilah about growing up and finally being diagnosed.
