sometimes kids with aspergers can do things that are off putting. i sat with a kid in a class that put his leg over class during the -- over the head during class and 17 years old and it's off putting. we can own it and now what do we do about it? it's not distracting to everybody fine but how do we do it in a way we're honest with everyone in the room and reaching out to each other appropriately. >> you have a project and working on a thing, a whole school based project. >> yeah, well -- anyways thank you guys. this is really a great conversation. just a little bit about where we're going. "bully" the movie is backed by a team, the bully project, and we have been bringing the film and educating, training professional development largely thriewr our partnership with them and provides that to school districts and classrooms across the country for free, so educators can sign up, and if they agree to do the training and to take it seriously and embed it with the kids and the adults in the community we provide them with oftentimes busing, but often free

, are perpetrators and aggressors, so i wanted to work on that so i'm working with kids and with aspergers and autism and one thing that struck me is we need to be able on the flip side, so i'm now writing to kids when you are the one that has more of a thick skin, whatever you want to call it, how do you interact with kids who are more sensitive? just how do you do that? how do you recognize the signs when you're around somebody that does calibrate and has a different definition and what bothers them and what doesn't and if we can do that and i'm asking autistic kids and asperger's kids and normal kids and what are the things that trigger these things and what can we do and i want you to know what i am doing right now and i am working with boys and i finished the porn section and honest i'm doing all of it and why do girls send naked

like the other young people here, he has asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder. unfamiliar situations make him nervous. at school, emil didn't fit in and was bored by lessons. >> at my old school, the teachers didn't believe that i was really good at computer programming. they never set me the right sort of assignments. so i said to them: "i'm going to prove to you that i can access secure data and manipulate it any way i want." they still didn 't believe me, so i just did it. >> lessons were interrupted for 3 weeks. thorkil sonne believes that kids like emil have skills that can be put to more constructive use. eight years ago, he founded the company specialisterne which means "the specialists". his goal is to prepare young people with autism for the working world by exploring their strengths and weaknesses and finding them appropriate positions. >> i think it's amazing to see the complexity of constructions they made here and we really need to make sure that skilled people like this get a real opportunity in the corporate space. >> young people like 18-year-old

he might have been asperger' asperger's-ish. >> john: high functioning auti autism. >> i might have asperger'ses>> john: and you're not jewish. you just like yiddish. >> he was italian. he came with his wife from torino, and then he gets a letter from his brother saying he must go to brooklyn because everybody is having so much fun there. he goes to brooklyn and the grandmother doesn't hear himself for months. his grandmother said wrote him a letter, she said, if you don't come back to torino, i'm going to kill myself and the children, talk about drama. he had a job in torino. it's a nice city. >> john: you can buy shrouds in brooklyn. there's a lot going on there. who were your comedic idols? >> my comedic idol was i used to watch the ed sullivan show. there was jean carol. she would ask about a mink coat, and he would say, for you, the label. she looked normal, no costume or anything. i loved her and then robert cline. i thought, i'm a substitute teacher, i could do material like that. he was smart. >> john: you were divorced, you had a daughter, and you were no longer at your gig teaching eve

a maximum of ninety years after he was found guilty of most of the charges against him including asperger knowledge in the closing arguments of the sentencing hearing the prosecution requested that manning spend no less than sixty years in prison for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the web site wiki leaks they say and doing so manning betrayed the trust of the united states and of his fellow soldiers national security at risk and her diplomatic relationships that offends on the other hand urged the judge to be lenient they did not require an exact number of years but manning's attorney david coombs asked the judge to take several factors into consideration in order to give manning a fair sentence these factors include manning is a young age who was twenty one years old at the time that he was deployed in iraq manning's troubled mental state was highlighted during the sentencing phase military mental health professionals testified that manning suffered from anxiety and a gender identity crisis who has also said manning had good intentions when he leaked u.s. secret

there's basically an introduction to all kinds of issues that teens face, from eating disorders to asperger's-like behaviors, all the things that they may have never really heard the actual terms for, or they don't really know if it's typical, or they're different. and then from there, we say, okay, well if you've identified that you maybe need some help or you want to talk to somebody, here are the people in your community you can talk to, and then if you really need a formal assessment-and we're obviously, this is for parents more that we're gearing it toward-if you need a formal assessment, here's how that process works, and here's what you can expect, here's how to navigate your insurance through this process, here're some typical obstacles. i work with a lot of school personnel and parents on, "how on earth do i get through the insurance process?" it's almost prohibitive for a lot of families; it's just so much. they're working, they have so much on their plate already, and then to be calling 20, 40 potential therapists or psychiatrists and then figuring out how to pay for it, it's just too m

one with asperger's syndrome the other with autism... how does a family cope with what doctors tell them is a life sentence of torment and despair? discover what happens when their parents choose to walk in the truth of god's word. take a healing journey with the mcdermott family. healing journeys, volume 4 now available on dvd >> at awmi.net as you can tell, i'm not in our studio today, but instead, we are up in woodland park, colorado at the place that i have named "the sanctuary". and we're in the process of building a charis bible college facility, and i am just convinced that this is what god has led me to do. i spent four hours today ministering in our charis bible college and i tell you, it's... it's exciting. i had a number of people come up to me and just tell about how this had just totally changed their life. and we see this happen every single day. so i am committed to taking the things that god has shown me and putting it into this bible college, and so this is the first step. and i believe that together we are going to get

. >> you've heard of autism, you've heard of asperger's, but there is another problem involving the brain bit more mysterious. it's the problem of the brain processing information, whether that's through hearing, seeing, touching, or finding the right words to use. there are parts of life we all take for granted. but for children with processing issues, information gets lost in translation and it can be extremely frustrating, often leading to explosive tantrums. it leaves parents feeling hopeless. as a little girl, karen berstein struggled with speech. not shaping words or hearing them, but understanding them. >> i was always tantruming, and i remember being frustrated when people would talk. i would have given anything for someone to have figured it out and not made me struggle so hard all through school and all through college. >> in those days, no one knew karen had auditory processing issues until she diagnosed it herself. she is now a speech pathologist in highland park, and she understands what these kids are going through. >> they have to translate it and it gets lost in translatio

this guy has been diagnosed with everything from fetal alcohol syndrome to asperger's. and he made a big case about being a head case -- wow that was good -- long, long before all of this hit the fan. and if that's the case and he still had access to all of this highly sensitive material, if he is going down, all of the people that knew this and still allowed him to have this access has to go down with him. >> we have anish -- an issue here with personnel. it is the same thing with fort hood how everybody knew all of that stuff. >> edward snowden, we found out he accesses information when he worked at dell. >> was he the dell guy? do you remember the dell guy? >> what happened to him? didn't he murder a family of five? >> i think he murdered a family of five. >> no he didn't, bill. >> yes he did. >> that's not true. i ran into him at a bar once. kind of rude. >> didn't he make out with you? >> he was on a commercial and he was rude to you? >> hard to believe. he didn't know who i was, and then he found out and changed his tune. what am i talking about? coming up, rockwe

remember after -- what happened in sandy hook, they immediately pointed at adam lanza, he may have aspergers that was the reason for what happened. that was a complete falsehood, and it was a dangerous myth, frankly. yes, i think mental illness gets short shrift, but we should not fall -- make the same mistake other people are making and draw these associations too closely. >> andrew, your reaction to that? >> i think that's partially true, there's paranoid schizophrenia out there. there are people that are mentally ill that do commit crimes. people that don't have a connection to reality, the same way a healthy brain will. people whose frontal lobes are developing at an early stage, they tend to disassociate from reality more. we're learning about mental illness starting earlier in life. people begin to have a mental illness, they'll go ahead and create some sort of delusion in their head which can result in a tragedy which we saw today. >> thank you for coming in. >>> a reminder that tomorrow i'll talk to the woman who knows james dimaggio better than anyone else. she hasn't spoken publicl
