Summary: As person with Autism Syndrom I hrecommend this book
Comment: I'm a person with Asperger's and I found this book helpful. It is not a definitive book, however it allows people who actually experience Autism Syndrome to have a voice, and allows an insider's view of this invisible disability. This book is very helpful for someone who suffers with this syndrom as it shows them they are not alone. The book however, for the most part, does paint Aspies (people who suffer from Asperger's Syndrome) with one brush, that of the victim. Some of us look at Aspergers as not so much a disability as a DIFFERENCE. Look you NT's (Neurological Typicals) are preoccupied with social concerns and are obsessed with conformity... Now that's a Disabililty... So I perfer to remind myself that people like Einstein also 'suffered' from Aspergers and did quite well. All in all this book is a good starting point but not a difinitive book on the subject.

Summary: View from the inside
Comment: An intriguing collection of essays by those on the autistic spectrum(AS). The editor has deliberately resisted overediting of the essays so the AS style of thinking and wording comes through. The writers mostly focus on their college and young adult years and the problems with finding friends and employment. Life poses many difficulties, even for higher functioning AS people with college degrees. They have academic and job skills, but the social differences pose a significant barrier.
A relative of mine found this book helpful in giving insight to how some AS people perceive and encounter the world. This book might also be helpful to AS teenagers and young adults to help them realize a commonality of experience.
I am amazed by the explosion of books on Aspergers and autistic spectrum disorders. Until recently, there were only a few books available with the "inside" perspective of autism, such as by Temple Grandin. I welcome the contribution of others' perspectives.
