A Guide to Living Fully with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome for Parents, Professionals, and You
Suitable for those with developmental disorders, as well as for people with the various disabilities, this book states that everyone has the power to improve the quality of their lives despite their disability; don't believe you must be 'normal' to be happy; learn to co-exist with 'neuro-typicals'; and, become the best human being you can be.
Jerry Newport, diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome/High Functioning Autism at age 47, wrote this book for those with developmental disorders, but it resonates with people with any disability. His message: everyone has the power - and the right - to improve the quality of their lives despite their disability. Don't believe you must be 'normal' to be happy; learn to co-exist with 'neuro-typicals', and become the best human being you can be. Jerry candidly reveals his own failures and successes. His heartfelt advice stems from a deep sense of caring for 'his people' on the spectrum. If you read only one personal account about autism, this should be it.
