Growing up is never easy but what's it like if you're 'different'? Actually, what's it like if you're 'different' but you don't know that you're 'different'? Having led what he thought was a 'normal' life for 31 years, our plucky hero's world was thrown into confusion when he was diagnosed with something called 'Asperger Syndrome'. But people don't catch Asperger Syndrome so where did it come from? Was it there all along and not noticed? Set against the backdrop of the North East of England in the 70's and 80's, and having to cope with life with a disabled father as well as facing the everyday challenges that most people take for granted, this is the insiders view of one boy's life with AS - from the safety of make-believe worlds to the terrifying depths of suicide, self-harming, and isolation. Sometimes harrowing, sometimes surreal, but never dull, this is the story of a little boy's struggle to not only grow up and survive in the world, but to find out what he truly was.

Nobody ever said it was going to be easy, nobody ever said it wouldn't be hard but how do you learn to cope when your world has been turned upside down? How do you adpat when you realise that everything that you thought you were...isn't? How do you live in a world not designed for you?This is the situation that our plucky hero finds himself in after having been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. With a failed marriage behind him and several disasterous relationships ahead of him, prepare to enter a world of self-harming, depression, suicide, domestic abuse and a seemingly never ending stream of kicks to the head.This follow up to the smash hit Wired-Up Wrong details the next four years in author Neil Shepherd's life. Told in his unique style of dark humour mixed with drama-queen histrionics (and an over use of brackets), this brutally honest book shows the very depths that man can sink to...and the strength of the human spirit.

One of the increasing number of people diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome in adulthood, New Zealand-born Jen Birch relates her story with humour and honesty, taking us through the years of frustration and confusion that led to her diagnosis in 1999. Now that she can put her life experiences into context, she candidly describes her continual search for 'normality', including her experiences at work, her difficulties with relationships, her time spent in a psychiatric hospital and her struggle for correct diagnosis in a country where the syndrome is relatively unknown. Talking positively about how her life has changed since the 'revelation', Jen aims to use this new-found knowledge to inform others about the syndrome and how, once its pros and cons are understood, life can be lived to the full.

Is it possible that you, your child, or someone you love might have Asperger's Syndrome? Do they call it "Asperger's Syndrome" or is it, technically, "Autism Spectrum Disorder"? I'm going to give you my guide, some tools, and some positive practices for living a fulfilled life as an Autistic Adult and give you some tips on how to recognize autism in yourself or others. Autism is nothing to be ashamed of. If this book has been suggested to you, understand I have accomplished a great deal in my life because of this "faulty-wiring" in my brain. I am quite proud of these tendencies I have to over-work while not needing much sleep or food. I feel superhuman with my ability to dive deeply into my special interests and I don't feel the need for validation from the crowd. I also tend to struggle with personal relationships, co-workers, and daily tasks that others take for granted. I went undiagnosed and misunderstood for 33 years not knowing I was autistic. The awareness I now have gives me the perspective I have needed my whole life to say "I am different and that is okay." I struggle with things others find easy and find I am gifted in ways that others struggle. Now I know that my "executive functioning skills" differ from other people and that "sensory processing disorder" is what keeps me overwhelmed in loud restaurants or in family get-togethers. This understanding lets me know I am different, not wrong. This gives me the opportunity to be understood. Something I have craved my entire life. I have been told in a complementary tone; "You don't look autistic." To which I want to respond with a snarky quip but instead I ask "what does autism look like to you?" My guess is that autism looks like a eight-to-twelve year old Caucasian boy rocking on a carpet. While part of this might be true, this is only who has been diagnosed in the current system with old broken rules helping us to navigate the murky waters of understanding. After all, what happens to all those weird kids when they grow up? Do they suddenly stop being autistic?I am a writer, a USMC Veteran, and a Realtor. I have a family line of intelligent and introverted "odd-ducks" which I trace back to my grandpa, also a veteran. A quiet man, who worked for years in his home office, after retiring from IBM in the Silicon Valley. His home is where my mom brought me up with him and my grandmother who described me, lovingly, as such a "curious little guy". This book was written for the undiagnosed, or recently diagnosed adult, hoping to add a little order into the disorder. I wanted to have some fun, so I won't quote the DSM... not even on accident. I will, however, quote TED talks, YouTube Videos, and blogs.This shouldn't feel like a depressing sludge through the mush, if it does I didn't do my job. This should feel like coming home without all the stress of actually having to go home! Thousands and thousands of years of humans have evolved to make you. How could you possibly be a mistake? My wife loves me like crazy and I love her. She is neurotypical and I am autistic. I would have had a terribly difficult time getting to know me, these past few years, without her love and patience. I am understood. What more could an Aspie ask for? I still don't understand all of these weird human beings I live here with, completely, or their primal relationships, but I enjoy them more and more every day that I am lucky enough to get to know them a little better while spending my time here on earth. I wish for you love and understanding and maybe a good laugh or two! Welcome home.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “As sweet and funny and sad and true and heartfelt a memoir as one could find.” —from the foreword by Augusten Burroughs Ever since he was young, John Robison longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits—an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes (and stick his younger brother, Augusten Burroughs, in them)—had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself—and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. It’s a strange, sly, indelible account—sometimes alien yet always deeply human.
