Aspie: Memoirs on the Blessings and Burdens of Asperger's Syndrome (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425722937)

Aspie takes you into the life and mind of one man's struggle with Asperger's Syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder affecting approximately 1,000,000 Americans. Here you will see how common AS "symptoms" such as temper tantrums, depression, moral idealism, "hyperhonesty," and social awkwardness went unexplained before his AS diagnosis at age 40. Moreover, you will learn how AS influences such areas of life as employment, social relationships, and intellectual achievement. Written for both Aspies and the general public, Aspie illustrates for all both the blessings and burdens of AS.
