Pretending to Be Normal: Living With Asperger's Syndrome
This book is must read for anyone dealing with Asperger's children, teens and young adults. L.

An unbelievable book. I laughed, I cried...

Childhood "fits" and College idiosyncracies. A great read for any "Aspie"or anyone with a suspision of "Aspies". (Asperger's Syndrome)[[ASIN:1853027499 Pretending ... Read More
