KCPD responds to shots fired call near elementary school
No injuries reported
Kansas City police swarmed a northeast side neighborhood after shots were reported fired near an elementary school.
Police were called to Elmwood and Scarritt avenues just after 3 p.m.
Gladstone Elementary School is in the area.
Police told KMBC that the school was about to let out for the day, but after shots were fired, the school briefly went into lockdown.
Police Department spokesman Officer Darin Snapp said that shots were fired into a home in area.
"I was sitting on my porch and I heard a boom, boom, boom," said Lisa Skinner, who said she called 911 after seeing the children on the school playground. "They all went in real quick."
According to a police captain at the scene, someone pulled up to the house where nine juveniles were inside and fired a shot at the home. A window was shot out, but no one was hurt.
Police have not made any arrests.
A man who asked not to be identified said when he heard there had been a shooting near the school, he immediately worried about his young sons who might be walking home.
"I was hoping it wasn't inside the school," he said. "I did hear as soon as I got here that the school was on lockdown. They did react pretty quick, so I was grateful for that."

When Tennessee's state legislature voted to defund Planned Parenthood, anti-contraception lawmakers thought that their long statewide nightmare of affordable birth control and low-income women's access to nonjudgmental sexual health care was over. Good riddance to bad rubbish, that's what I say! But then, the Obama administration went right on ahead and continued to provide federal grants to the health care provider without first consulting Tennessee state lawmakers, who think they should have the power to play man-to-man defense on Planned Parenthood, making sure that it never gets any money, ever. Unfortunately for Tennessee, and for other states who have tried similar stunts, defunding Planned Parenthood is much more difficult than simply passing a law.
Here's some boring, but necessary background: the federal government's Title X program was signed into law in 1970, and it's the only federal grant program that provides funding to family planning services. This is because, despite the Catholic church's incessant whining, contraception is a public good — it leads to smaller, healthier families, healthier mothers, healthier children, fewer unplanned pregnancies, and reduced taxpayer burden associated with unplanned pregnancies (unplanned pregnancies currently cost US taxpayers an estimated $11 billion annually).
Title X is administered federally, which means that states don't have the authority to dictate where the funding can't go, no matter how icky lawmakers there think sluts are. And judges, for the most part, have agreed that it's not constitutional for states to exclude Planned Parenthood from its federal Title X funds. North Carolina tried using the words "Planned Parenthood" in its budget, as in "Planned Parenthood isn't getting any Title X money nyah nyah nyah," but a judge declared that law unconstitutional. Undaunted, they returned this year with another budget that defunded Planned Parenthood, this one declaring that no private health care providers were eligible for Title X. That budget was vetoed by the state's Democratic governor and then overrode by the legislature, but federal Title X guidelines specify that both public and private health care providers are allowed to apply for Title X funds, so, in all likelihood, that wrong headed attempt to defund Planned Parenthood won't work, either. Kansas has tried similar tactics by declaring in its state budget that no federal Title X funding can go to abortion providers, language that's been struck down twice. Tennessee has already been reprimanded for attempting to single out Planned Parenthood in the past.
So it makes no sense that Tennessee conservatives are crying foul over the federal government's decision to award a family planning grant to Planned Parenthood in the state — they don't have the authority to make the decisions they're acting like they have the right to make, which sort of seems to be the theme of the Republican party in 2012.
This hasn't stopped them from declaring that the Obama administration is supporting abortions (no Title X funding can go to fund abortions, nor could it ever) and undermining state authority, even though Planned Parenthood of the Greater Memphis Region is currently getting half of the money it received in years prior to provide family planning services on a sliding scale to patients.
The President of Susan B. Anthony's List, a group that seeks to get anti-abortion rights women elected to public office (it's like Bizarro EMILY's List) huffed,
The stakes for pro-life Tennesseans in the upcoming elections have just been heightened. We've done good work here in Tennessee electing pro-life majorities to the Legislature and Congress. But all of that can apparently be undone by a single official unless we have a pro-life president and a pro-life senate solidly committed to defending the weakest and most vulnerable of all.
Pro-life now apparently means anti-contraception. Got it. Won't someone please think of the vulnerable imaginary future zygotes?

Pipeline Perspectives: Wong tops at second base
Strong bat, plate discipline gives Cards infield prospect nod over Boston's Betts
There's a good amount of subjectivity regarding baseball prospects. With the evaluation of talent being in the eye of the beholder, finding consensus is often difficult. Even Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of MLBPipeline.com don't always see eye to eye. They discuss their viewpoints regularly in a feature called Pipeline Perspectives. Submit a topic for them to debate.
Remember a time when playing second base was seen by some as a demotion for former shortstops? Such players were perhaps thought of in the same category as relief pitchers back in the day, when they were perceived as little more than failed starters before bullpen roles rose in importance.
It does seem like we now live in a different world. Sure, maybe many of today's second basemen started out as shortstops long ago, but there's no failure attached to sliding over to the right side of the infield. Dustin Pedroia winning the 2008 American League MVP Award got things going, for sure, while Robinson Cano and Ian Kinsler have also added to the cachet of playing the position. The 2013 MVP Award voting had two second basemen finish in the top five, one in each league.
Look at this year's Top 100 Prospects list and you'll see there's more impressive talent coming from the keystone. There are four second basemen on the list, double the number from 2013. There was only one on the 2012 rankings, the first year it was expanded from 50 to 100 names. Clearly, it's a renaissance time for the position, making it a good time to talk about some of the best second-base prospects in this week's Pipeline Perspectives.
I have the easy job this week, taking the highest-ranked second baseman in Kolten Wong. Jim Callis has decided to argue for Red Sox prospect Mookie Betts, who is ranked third on the list of Top 10 second basemen and No. 62 overall.
Wong is ranked No. 58 overall, with the Rangers' Rougned Odor sandwiched between Wong and Betts at No. 59. And while Jim may argue about Betts' athletic upside, I'm more than happy to have the certainty of Wong's bat on my side of the debate.
The Cardinals prospect gets a 60 ranking on the hit tool (on the scouting scale of 20-80). That represents Wong's future grade with the bat, and that qualifies as above average. Individual reports have put his bat as high as 70 -- high praise indeed. There is little question that Wong is going to hit.
I know what you're thinking, and I'll tell you this right now: You can forget about Wong's big league debut in 2013. That was 59 at-bats spread over 32 games. It screams small sample size, not to mention how the lack of regular playing time made it impossible for him to find any rhythm at the plate.
Wong moved into the first round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft because of scouts' belief in his hitting ability. Hitting .378/.492/.560 in his junior year made believers out of many, though he hit throughout his time at the University of Hawaii (.358/.450/.563). Wong looked like a quick-to-the-big-leagues advanced college hitter, and he hasn't disappointed. He has hit .301/.365/.446 in the Minors, and he made it to St. Louis in just over two years.
Wong has good strike-zone discipline and doesn't strike out much. He may not be that big, but he has compact strength with more than enough bat speed to drive the ball. Wong is going to run into 12 or so home runs a year and hit the gaps with enough doubles to be a real threat.
But Wong isn't just an offensive-minded second baseman. Despite the World Series pickoff, he's a savvy baserunner, and even though he's not a burner, he's put in work to become a threat to steal. Because Wong has played second base for a while now, he's comfortable there and has the chance to be an above-average defender.
Wong is ready to show it at the Major League level. Betts will be a solid big leaguer, too, but he hasn't played above Class A. Seeing him do well at a higher level would help his cause.
The Cards traded one-time World Series hero David Freese to the Angels this offseason mostly because they needed outfield help, and they got it in the form of Peter Bourjos. But they also felt comfortable in moving Matt Carpenter (one of the aforementioned top five MVP vote-getters at second base) to third and giving Wong every opportunity to be an everyday player in St. Louis this season.
The Cardinals went to the World Series in 2013, won it in 2011, made it to the National League Championship Series in 2012 and have been in the postseason in four of the past five years. I'm not saying they're always 100 percent right, but if Wong is good enough for them, he's certainly good enough for me.

Strauss earns EDUCAUSE leadership award
The late Howard Strauss, former manager of academic outreach in Princeton's Office of Information Technology, has been named the recipient of an EDUCAUSE Leadership Award for Distinguished Performance and Outstanding Service.
Strauss, who worked at the University from 1971 to 2005, died in September 2005 at age 62. The award is the highest individual recognition offered by EDUCAUSE, a nonprofit association whose mission is to advance higher education by promoting the intelligent use of information technology. It recognizes prominent professionals whose work has had significant positive impact on the contributions of information technology to higher education.
During his career at Princeton, Strauss held a variety of positions in administrative, systems and academic computing. He served as manager of the University's advanced applications group, which created the Princeton News Network, one of the first campuswide information systems and a precursor to Gopher and the World Wide Web. The group also helped deploy the first fledgling "dormnets" on campus, put up some of the first Webcams and turned a legacy student information system into a student-driven interactive advising tool.
Beyond Princeton, Strauss was the technical anchor for the Corporation for Research and Educational Networking Tech Talk series of Webcasts for five years. He was a member of Pearson's Online Learning advisory board and the Syllabus conference board, a faculty member for the National Association of College and University Business Officers and a founding member of Election Watch, a public advocacy group focused on integrity in electronic elections. He wrote and presented numerous information technology courses and served as a consultant for companies and universities. In 1987, his futuristic "Apple PIE" was the second-place winner in Apple's national competition to design the computer of the future.
Strauss was well known among his professional colleagues for his quirky and insightful writings and presentations. He published dozens of articles and was a regular contributing author to several computer journals. He was an institution at Educom, CAUSE, EDUCAUSE and other higher education conferences, where he regularly spoke to standing-room-only audiences.
As part of the award, EDUCAUSE is making a $3,000 contribution in Strauss' name to a scholarship fund of his family's choice.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Rather than celebrating Father's Day on Sunday afternoon, Horace Russell marched with several thousand people to take a stand against the New York Police Department's controversial "stop and frisk" policy.
"I feel it every single day, practically," said Russell, who works as a teacher in the Bronx. "I've been pulled over and pushed against fences, frisked, but have never been arrested."
Russell's story sounded familiar to many of Sunday's marchers, who want to see action from Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly -- either by abolishing or reforming stop-and-frisk.
Last year, nearly 685,000 people were stopped by officers in cases that ended with no meaningful charge, according to police department statistics. Of these, 87% were African-American or Latino, the police department says.
"They profile me because I'm a Rastafarian and I have dreadlocks, so therefore I get pulled over just for my looks," said Russell.
Sunday's silent march started at 110th Street and headed down Fifth Avenue, ending at 78th Street after passing Bloomberg's townhouse on 79th Street.
"I don't know a single black or Latino male who doesn't say he is basically afraid to be out on the streets," said the Rev. Stephen Phelps, a senior minister at the Riverside Church near West Harlem. He was one of a diverse group of faith leaders, and representatives of some 300 organizations , brought together by the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
On Sunday morning, speaking at a Christian Cultural Center, Mayor Bloomberg attempted to preempt the demonstration's inevitable message: "I understand why some people want us to stop making stops," he said.
"Innocent people who are stopped can be treated disrespectfully. That is not acceptable... Police Commissioner Kelly and I both believe we can do a better job in this area -- and he's instituted a number of reforms to do that.
"We believe that when it comes to making stops -- to borrow a phrase from President Clinton -- the practice should be mended, not ended."
However, in official circles, there appears to be strong divergence in opinion.
"It's racial profiling of people who are almost all innocent of any wrongdoing," said New York City Comptroller John Liu, who was advocating abolition at the protest march. He said he would prefer "strategies of focused deterrents that we have seen in Atlanta, Chicago and Boston that actually reduce crime."
Jumaane Williams, a New York city councilman from Brooklyn, said Bloomberg and Kelly "have shown no leadership" on the stop-and-frisk issue. "Inherent in any police officer's ability to do their job is their ability to stop somebody they feel is reasonably suspicious. The current policy is not that -- it's stopping people because they are black or brown."
Williams added, "Whether you say end it or reform it, we have to end the way that policy currently exists."

This A list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner was supposed to be at an event last week when she discovered that this former A list mostly movie actress who has dropped to a B- list because of all the time she spends with her family was also going to attend. Our A list actress immediately backed out and then put together a string of expletives about the B- lister that would do a sailor proud.
Basically every word you have ever thought existed was uttered. It turns out that the pair have not spoken in almost four years and was the result of the B- lister having sex with the A lister's then boyfriend while the two women were making a movie together.

Police: driver taunted hit-and-run victims
MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) -- Manchester police say they arrested a man who allegedly struck two teenagers with his vehicle and taunted them as they lay wounded in the street.
Fifty-five-year-old Robert Tupper of Vernon was charged Thursday evening with reckless endangerment, evading responsibility and breach of peace.
Police say two boys ages 15 and 16 were struck while crossing the intersection of Cooper Hill Road and Fairfield Street shortly before 7 p.m. Thursday. Police say Tupper drove off, came back to taunt them and sped away again.
Both teens were treated at Hartford Hospital. Authorities say one has a head injury and broken bones and the other has minor bruising.
Tupper is detained on $100,000 bail and is to be arraigned Friday in Manchester Superior Court. It's not clear if he has a lawyer.

Villa Azure is a 5 bedroom Mediterranean architectural masterpiece with four Levels and six decks and terraces, offering and true indoor and outdoor living in 9,000 square feet of spacious comfort. Located in the center of Anguilla's largest marine park with the islands best snorkeling and swimming directly in front of the Villa, you will be mesmerized by a thousand of shades of blue, and soothed by the sounds of the waves at this waterfront retreat.
Overlooking Anguilla's fabulous Shoal Bay Beach, its powder soft sands are available to you any time you desire. You will be swept away by the amazing natural beauty, privacy and total comfort. Villa Azures coveted location, exquisite attention to detail and tailoring to the desires of our guests has cumulated in the perfect holiday retreat.
If you start with a truly amazing island that is the chosen destination of the luxury traveler, and painstakingly find the ideal location with the most incredible view imaginable, next to the beach voted the "best beach in the world" by Cande Nast Traveler, USA Today and Fodors, how do you compliment and perhaps even elevate Mother Nature's breathtaking creation? At Villa Azure, we created an oasis for all of the senses, where guests are pampered with genuine hospitality and service, touched by the sweetness of local warmth and charm, with an unparalleled commitment to the finest experience possible. Villa Azure was created to provide the ultimate in private escapes- away from the crowds of large resorts without sacrificing the service and care the luxury traveler has come to expect. Villa Azure is about luxury, in a relaxed warm way.
The entire design of the Villa was developed to completely transform and relax you. From the precise placement of the walls of glass that open to allow the tropical scented trade winds blow through, to the enveloping furnishings, you will feel the stress of the real world melt away as you take your first steps through the eighteenth century hand carved doors.
Five spacious, sumptuously appointed bedrooms are havens of ultimate comfort and supreme elegance, fully air-conditioned with ceiling fans and Italian handcrafted Egyptian cotton linens. You and your guests have the option of renting as many bedrooms as you need depending upon the size of your party. Enjoy the amazing vanishing edge pool, large covered and open-air decks, heated spa, romantic thatched roof bar and steps to the sea. All bedrooms face the soothing azure ocean and open on to a deck or terrace.
Shoal Bay beach is over 2 miles long and is rated one of the best beaches in the world, with "the whitest sand on earth" and is only a short distance away. Perfect for long walks on its perfect powder soft sand, you can enjoy its wonderful restaurants, amazing snorkeling, and scuba right off the beach.
Although Anguilla has always been known for its stunning beaches, it is the people that will truly endear you to this island. It is the Caribbean you always dreamed of.
Staying in this villa over the last week has been the experience of a lifetime. Words like stunning, spectacular and breathtaking loose their meaning when you look over the beautiful turquoise water. We have appreciated every moment we have spent here- in fact it is hard to drag ourselves away from the villa to visit the gorgeous beaches the island is famous for. The villa itself is unbelievable- the thoughtfulness that went into the design is obvious. It is unequaled by any place we have stayed in the Caribbean.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC will kick off year two in Major League Soccer on Bell Pitch at BC Place on Saturday, March 10, 2012, versus Canadian rivals Montreal Impact as part of the league's First Kick.
"We are looking forward to kicking off our season against Montreal Impact, as they play their first match in their inaugural MLS season in Vancouver," said Whitecaps FC President Bob Lenarduzzi. "March 10 will be an exciting sports day for all fans in downtown Vancouver, as by coincidence, the Canucks will host the Montreal Canadiens."
Throughout the years, the Blue and White have played three different Montreal-based clubs in Canadian professional soccer history, posting an all-time record of 27W-34L-17D. March 10, 2012, will be the 56th match between Vancouver and Montreal Impact – dating back to 1993. Montreal lead the all-time series with a 30W-16L-9D record, having registered a 15W-8L-3D record all-time in Vancouver.
Going back to the days of the Canadian Soccer League, Vancouver and Montreal Supra met 16 times between 1988 and 1992, with Vancouver dominating the series with a 7W-2L-7D record. Back in the North American Soccer League days, Whitecaps FC and Montreal Manic played six times between 1981 and 1983, with Vancouver registering a 4W-2L record.
Dating back to 1974, last year's inaugural match in MLS improved Vancouver's overall home opener record to 19 wins, 13 losses, and four draws. In fact, Whitecaps FC have not lost a home opener since 2001. From 1974 to 1983, the 'Caps held home openers at Empire Stadium, at BC Place in 1984 and 1995, at Abbotsford's Rotary Stadium in 1996, and at Swangard Stadium from 1987 to 1994 and 1997 to 2010. Last season's home opener took place on Bell Pitch at Empire Field.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC will kick off against Montreal Impact at 3p.m. PT on Saturday, March 10, 2012. The match will be broadcast live on TSN and in French on RDS.
Each club will play 34 matches in the 2012 MLS regular season; CLICK HERE for details on the format.
2012 Whitecaps season tickets include all 17 Major League Soccer regular season home matches, plus Nutrilite Canadian Championship matches, and start at $329, plus applicable tax and a $10 processing fee per order.

Perfect location, rooms are ok and clean. Nothing super luxurious but more than basic. It's annoying that the guests make sunbed reservation early in the morning. Not enough umbrellas. Breakfast was not very good. Coffee very bad, also the Asian food not very delicious. Only the eggs (omelette , fried etc) were good. But ok, just cross the street and go to Starbucks. People very friendly and the rooms were cleaned very good. Everyday new towels if you want. Would definately return.

Super hôtel, j y vais depuis des années. Les chambres ont été rénovées et c est top. L allée qui mène à la plage est superbe. Le personnel très sympa. Problème avec la pression de l eau dans le salle de bain, elle est insuffisante. Le restaurant a été refait et le bâtiment est franchement horrible. De plus, c est un restaurant Italien qui est très cher. Si on veut manger Thai, obligé d aller à l étage. Pas assez de chaises longues ni de parasols sur la plage. En résumé, l Hôtel est parfait, par contre coté plage, avec le resto et les chaises longues, c est devenu pas top, même franchement nul.

We stayed in a Deluxe Room. The Room was located directly across the Reception. The View of our Terrace was mostly on a pile of Garbagebags. The Room (groundfloor Bungalow) was teh farest from the beach - i would recommend to get a Room nearer to the beach. Otherwise the Room was very Big - we stayed in the room with our children (2 years and 10 Months). The Babycot is good for Babys wich are smaller and cant stand up alone - otherwise i would not recommend to let the children sleep in the Babycot because the fence is not very high. If the Baby leans over it could fall out. We let our 2 Year old sleep in the Baby cot, and the Baby slept on the Matrasse on the floor next to the Double Bed. The Bathroom was Huge, the most of the Time it did not smell to good. At this time of year there were a lot of mosquitos. My Parenst in law had the Room above us (1st Floor) wich was much better. Bathroom did not stink, no Moquitos - or not so many.....

The great irony of Eric Kisly's disability is that its traits are exactly what would make him a model employee.
Focused. Honest. Hardworking. Intelligent.
But the Woodstock High School graduate's handicaps speak much louder than how he looks on résumé paper. Kisly, 23, had a form of autism called Asperger syndrome.
In a typed suicide note left for his loved ones, Kisly described the difficulties he had finding a job.
"I hate to say this but by the time you are reading this, I will probably be dead," Kisly wrote. "I am doing this because I realize that I can't fix my life given whats [sic] left within me."
On the morning of June 16, Kisly was killed by a commuter train headed from Harvard to Woodstock.
He was wearing his dress pants, a dress shirt and tie – his interview outfit.
"I thought he was upstairs, because when I came home, the car was there," said his mother, Linda Kisly of Lakemoor. "The police came about 9 in the morning. When they told me [what happened], I said 'No, the car's out there.' I looked and the car wasn't there.
"Then I just lost it."
• • •
Asperger syndrome is a developmental disorder characterized by the inability to gauge emotions or read social cues. It is marked by repetitive rituals and behaviors, peculiar speech and language, and hypersensitivity to light and sound.
Grouped with other autism disorders, Asperger syndrome is thought to be on the milder end of the autism spectrum.
Eric Kisly fit the mold in many ways. He was a Green Bay Packer superfan. He preferred to wear only yellow, cotton T-shirts and drank only Sunkist soda. Socially, he struggled to make friends.
Asperger syndrome traits often are mistaken for rudeness, social awkwardness, or simply just being weird. This made Kisly a target for schoolyard bullies. Unable to adjust the volume of his voice to his surroundings, Kisly often would be shouting – even during job interviews.
"If people are able to look past that first impression of his weird quirks, I think he would have had a much easier time," said Eric Kisly's 22-year-old sister, Lauren Kisly. "But people don't know how to recognize why he acts in a particular way."
The job search weighed heavily on his mind and had shaken his confidence.
As Eric Kisly stated in his note, "If I can't convince myself, how can I convince an employer?"
Like others with Asperger syndrome who have above-average intelligence, Eric Kisly graduated with honors in 2011 from Michigan Technological University with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering.
But all the book smarts in the world couldn't prepare Eric Kisly for a job market grueling enough for recent college grads who don't have social impairments.
Rudy Simone quite literally wrote the book on people with Asperger syndrome, or "Aspies," in the work force.
"We need [people] to understand Asperger's, otherwise we're fighting a constant uphill battle of people judging us through a neurotypical lens," said Simone, who has written three other books on Asperger syndrome. "It's like telling a dog he should act like a cat."
In her book, "Asperger's On The Job," Simone, an Aspie herself, writes that up to 85 percent of those with Asperger syndrome are under- or unemployed. Trouble reading facial expressions or understanding subjective phrases make interviewing a daunting task.
"If only we lived in a society that prized honesty, integrity, strong work ethic, intelligence, focus and all these traits above the ability to make small talk, above confidence, above that sort of idea of being cool and being normal," she said.
Social abilities and being a team player often mean more in the professional world than creative or independent thinking, Simone said.
"We're not the yes man," she said. "We're the one's to tell the emperor that he's naked."
The incidence of Asperger syndrome is not well-established; the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke estimate that two to six of every 1,000 children have the disorder.
Asperger syndrome goes hand in hand with depression and other mental illnesses, experts say, although the link is not well-documented.
"People with Asperger's are very intelligent, and they see a picture of what normal life should look like," said Cindy Sullivan, executive director of Options and Advocacy for McHenry County. "If you can't achieve that idea of normal, then it brings those feelings of depression and despondency."
Options and Advocacy runs an autism support group run by program coordinator Winter Noe.
Travis Hafford works alongside Noe as a peer specialist for the autism program. The 32-year-old Crystal Lake resident was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome in adulthood.
Hafford works two part-time jobs and is a full-time student attempting his second bachelor's degree. He talks in rapid fire with impeccable grammar and a vast vocabulary. He doesn't make much eye contact.
"I understand what that young man felt because I have had those same feelings," Hafford said. "I understand what it feels like when no one will give you a chance."
Having worked years in the retail market, Hafford constantly had his intelligence called into question. But he admitted he takes discipline more personally than his non-Aspie co-workers. The disorder made him feel singled out and can trigger strong feelings of aggression or anxiety.
Now five years into his diagnosis, Hafford has the tools to control his symptoms and prevent an emotional outburst. Like many adult Aspies, he shows very little outward signs of a struggle.
"Just because they look like they're holding it together, and look nice on the outside, doesn't mean it feels nice on the inside," Noe said.
Often Asperger syndrome is mistaken for a litany of other disorders, making it difficult to identify those who have Asperger syndrome versus another disability on the autism spectrum.
There is no one cure for Asperger syndrome. Doctors say it's best to intervene as soon as a child starts to present symptoms of the disorder, and to put coping strategies in place. Aspies should continue those strategies through adulthood, Noe said.
"As kids get older, social relationships become more complex," Noe said, adding that those with Asperger syndrome can act out or have behavioral issues if the root of their disabilities are not identified and dealt with.
Intimate relationships also may suffer.
"While a misnomer may be that [those with Asperger syndrome] don't want relationships, sometimes they just don't know how to initiate them," Noe said.

In Eric Kisly's room, a tower of empty Sunkist soda cans still are stacked on his desk. His mother just doesn't have the heart to take them down.
Her wounds are too fresh. When she spoke to the Northwest Herald, it had been only three weeks since Eric Kisly sat down to type his final words.
As she describes Eric's Sunkist tower, Linda Kisly explains how he would meticulously open the cans without actually breaking the can's seal, making it look as though they were fresh out of the box.
A stack of bright yellow shirts grabs her eye, and she lifts one up and stretches it out. It's so worn it's covered with holes and tears. The pile likely will remain in its place.
There were a sea of yellow T-shirts at Eric's funeral.
"I can't even fathom in the slightest bit how much pain he's gone through his whole life and what it had built up to," Lauren Kisly said. "I hope and pray that he's not having a hard time anymore."
