  1. I have done a lot of research. My 10 year old son has been diagnosed with aspergers. He has a team now of therapist and have seen great improvement esp over the last four months. On my own I have introduced him to animal therapy such as horseback riding etc. While at a friends I found an uncanning calmness around their umbrella cockatoo. I went on a mission to find the perfect bird for him. Thru research I found the African grey was the perfect match. If you look side by side they actually have the same behavorial issues and positive feedback requirements. I haven't owned a bird for years but after looking for weeks for the perfect baby grey I found one hatched on his birthday and will be ready to come home right before Christmas. It was a sign. Although we don't have the new member of our family with us yet I know it is going to be great. This will not only be a loved family pet but also a therapy bird. I will let you know how it works out and the baby greys theraputic achievements. Although we haven't named him yet I'm leaning towards Dr Spock. My son has no idea yet but I know he's going to take care of his new friend just like he does his other pets.
