This book will be highly recommended by me to all those who have or do not have a diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome. The appendices are brilliant in that Liane gives practical tips in supporting and managing Asperger's syndrome in all aspects of life. Finding the balance with appropriate support enables people with Asperger's syndrome to function in both the Aspie and neurotypical worlds. This updated version not only gives further insights but more importantly rather than "pretending to be normal" Liane points out that it is better to recognise that having Asperger's syndrome is acceptable and society should celebrate differentness. Temple Grandin, Author of The Autistic Brain and Thinking in Pictures Liane's original book Pretending to be Normal gave such important insights into how women with Asperger's syndrome used coping strategies in an attempt to fit into the neurotypical world. Liane Holliday Willey's insights will be especially helpful for many women on the spectrum.
Some of the best insights that helped came from reading books written by people on the spectrum.
