More About Finding a Different Kind of Normal: Misadventures with Asperger Syndrome

did not finish reading it This book was disappointing. It desperately needed an editor. No insights were drawn from her experiences whatsoever. It's just a long, rambling account of her sad life. A biographical account of someone with Asperger's Syndrome. To me, I showed a woman who had gone through her life without any real strategy. She went from being one thing to another, and I think it put across very well how she was constantly trying to fit in with those around her, even if it was to her detriment.
