I found and listened to a really informative interview on Asperger's Syndrome on Terry Gross' Fresh Air programme. Click on this link below to listen in--great interview with a researcher, and then a really interesting brief discussion from an adult Asperger's patient.

You need realaudio (you can download a version free at the site)

divina,

can you recall the name of the reseacher? i've looked thru the link and can't find the interview.

thanks,

Oops! Thought the link was correct!

Okay, click on the link, and it will bring you to the show's title page, featuring the latest broadcast. To the left, you'll see buttons for differently categorized listings...click on "Archived Shows". This will bring up two search features, you can look up the subject matter of the show or type in the date of the broadcast, which was May 5, 2004. The researcher's name is Dr. Fred Volkmar, and he speaks with Terry Gross on Asperger's Syndrome. This interview is followed by a documentary interview with Michael John Carley, diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as an adult. It's a very good portrait of this form of autism in a highly functioning patient.

I thought the link would lead you directly; unfortunately, when I click on it, it simply opens up Windows media or realaudio and begins to download the interview and play it. Hope this makes it a little easier for everyone to find the actual recording.
