Acknowledgements

Family and Friends:

   I would like to thank my whole family, for supporting me as I stumbled through the creation of this MRP.  The reason they deserve such accolade is because they encouraged me to keep a positive attitude this semester when everything seemed to be running together and I didn't think I would be able to accomplish my goals. As always, they were there to remind me who I am and just what I'm capable of.  My mother Donna Miller, and father, Tommy Miller kept me focused on my endeavors with soft-hearted support being received from my mother, and hard-edged reinforcement from my father, Tommy Miller.  Also, discussions on characteristics typical of Aspergers sufferers with my dad, who is a mental health counselor and former school board administrator, helped tremendously.

   I would also like to thank a friend of mine form CD 315, Angela McCune.  Angie was always there if I had a quick question about PowerPoint presentations or formatting my homepage.  I appreciated her lending me a helping hand every once in a while.  I would also like to extend my gratitude to Kristen, Jill, and Kim, my peer reviewers in CD 315 for supplying me with such thoughtful feedback regarding my genres.  Your thoughts were a big part in the shaping of my MRP.

   My girlfriend, Stephanie Ray, is another big reason I didn't stroll right off the deep end this semester trying to keep pace with all my classes and trying to develop an MRP at the same time.  She had to take the blunt of my moodiness.  Steph, thanks for talking me down so many times, your the best.

 

Instructor: 

   Mrs. McCommas, thank you for investing so much time in me and my classmates (I still haven't figure out how you find time to engage in secondary activities outside of keeping your students on task, like breathing).  You never acted like I was a burden for asking you for help, even though it was evident how many things you had on your plate.  I really respect and appreciated that.

 

AS-and-Proud-of-it subscribers:

    For every one who subscribes to the AS-and-Proud-of-it  Aspergers mailing list, thank you for reaching out and sharing your personal thoughts and experiences with others who wanted  to understand Aspergers.  I observed so many of you offering in depth and thoughtful replies to questions submitted by people who would present from mildly inquisitive about the disorder, to at the end of their rope in dire need of support.  Your input was invaluable.

 

Miscellaneous:

   I would like to start off by thanking Starbucks for supplying the lifeblood of every up and coming computer networker.  Also, I would like to thank the likes of the Offspring, Johnny Cash, Greenday, and James Taylor for creating the music that would keep me going over the long nights spent in the library posturing across from a blinking computer screen.
