Aspergers
I have worked with two Asperger students in the past for years as their teacher and tutor. I have also read a lot about the illness and have a colleague (teacher) who has Aspergers, and a grandson who is high on the autistic spectrum (and may have Aspergers--too young for official diagnosis). As a teacher, I know enough to express myself literally when imparting information to Asperger students and to express more symbolic and nonliteral information using lots of examples. I can also act appropriately without unnecessary emotions due to their flat emotional personalities. I believe that I have sufficient experience dealing with Aspergers and even other forms of autism to be able to deal with this phenomenon.

ADD/ADHD
Although I have not taken any courses in ADD/ADHD, I have a lot of personal experience teaching Homebound Students (2010-2014) with a variety of disabilities, including but not limited to ADD/ADHD, sluggish cognitive tempo, dyslexia, math confusion, panic disorder, borderline personality disorder, anxiety issues. etc. As a very patient individual who is good in stress situations, I am a natural in dealing with a wide range of student disabilities--including physical handicaps like impaired sight and hearing.
