 Eight
years ago, 60 Minutes introduced viewers to
Jerry Newport and Mary Meinel, both of whom
suffer from a form of autism known as Asperger's
Syndrome. Mary and Jerry had fallen in love
and married after meeting at a support group.
What's happened to the couple since then is
the subject of "When Jerry met Marry,"
reported by correspondent Lesley Stahl, which
can be seen on 60 Minutes this coming Wednesday,
September 29, at 8PM EST.
