Expert: - 1/18/2010


Question
Do you know of anyone who would enjoy working with me to outline the degree that Sergei Prokofiev, the Russian composer, was a high functioning asperger. I would need this person only to check my statements about Aspergers... I would do to history, symptoms, musical and social examples.

Answer
Hey Joseph,

This question is technically outside the perview of my expertise. However I think the best route to ascertain your answer is to access an on-line chat room that attracts individuals on the Autism Spectrum. There you might have an audience for support for your music project.
