Book Reviews of Pretending to Be Normal: Living With Asperger's Syndrome
Book Review: An excellent read, informative and entertaining.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderfully absorbing account of the life of someone with Asperger's Syndrome. I read this book cover to cover in one sitting. Liane Willey's style is very good, and the book gives a real insight into what it is like to see the world differently. The author is extremely positive about her experiences, and I'm sure will provide a lot of hope and encouragement to others with AS. Although some of her experiences were clearly distressing, there is also a great deal of humour here. The two-headed baby episode had me laughing out loud ! In addition to the personal account of the author's life, there is also a section providing practical advice on coping with Asperger's Syndrome and explaining it to others which is extremely useful. I cannot recommend this book highly enough to anyone who has AS or knows someone who does.
