Atypical: Life with Asperger's in 20 1/3 Chapters par Jesse A. Saperstein
I doubt I can be objective about this memoir. The writing was a bit scattered. I do feel it's important to listen to the perspectives of adults on the autism spectrum. In a few parts, I felt I could have been reading something written by my own son.
Very readable. A good balance of humor and seriousness. The author`s tendency to stereotype and judge women (and then bemoan his lack of a girlfriend) was frustrating, especially considering how self-aware he was in other areas and of other prejudices. Overall, worth reading, but not a book I`d read again.
This kid is definitely on the Autism Spectrum and his insights for the most part are spot on. I enjoyed what he had to say about the workplace and effectively learning when to keep your mouth shut. Out of the whole book the part labeled Employment 101 should be read and memorized by anyone on the Spectrum or who advises anyone on the Spectrum. The section on romance could be applied to anyone who does not have a lot of experience dating. While the book is not written by a professional the book will be useful to anyone who has been recently diagnosed on the Spectrum and needs general life advice. This book can serve as a conversation starter between the parent of of someone on the Spectrum and their doctor or counselor.… (plus d'informations)
