My name is Emanuel Frowner and I did not know I had Asperger's Syndorme until I was 25. I went to the Seaver and New York Autism Center for Excellence at Mount Sinai in early 2006. I did the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and my mom did the Autism Diagnostic Interview. My IQ was at least 100. Based on this, I met the Criteria for Asperger's Syndrome. I was a bit surprised at first, but then I thought of it as a blessing in disguise. I have read many books on AS and it made me analyze many aspects of my life. A lot of it was like me (not everything). I have had difficulties mainly because of the lack of understanding from the general public and even "educated" people, never mind people who were down right ignorant. But I have stayed strong and overcame many things so far. It has definitely made me a better person. I joined Adaptations, which is a support group for adults in their 20s and 30s. I have made a few friends and we have done a lot of things together such as going to Knicks games and movies. A reporter, from WNYC, Gregory Warner found out about me through Dr. Evdokia Anagnostou and others from the Seaver Center in early 2006. I have done many interviews with him. Some of my family members have been interviewed by him. I have been interviewed by Gregory Warner on the following dates: Gregory interviewed me on Mon. Dec. 11, 2006. Gregory interviewed Blair, my brother, and me on Sat. Sept. 15, 2007. Gregory interviewed Dr. Anagnostou and me on Mon. Oct. 8 ...

Gail Albert Halaban's body of work Out My Window is a great example of a local artist with a unique perspective on our cityscape. For this project, she went into apartments of friends and strangers across the city and took photographs out their windows. In the lives of neighbors, Halaban found stories about the private, daily duties NYers share - hugging our dogs, preparing a dinner party, looking in the fridge. She told me that this project could only have happened in NYC.
