#1 I grew up in an era when Asperger’s Syndrome wasn’t yet recognized. I was labeled shy, nerdy, or gifted. I didn’t participate in class, and my report cards said I didn’t work or play well with others. But I had a daughter to raise, so I made it work.

#2 I had always thought of myself as being a little odd, but I had a job, a child, and a husband, so I didn’t think that being on the spectrum would apply to me. I was surprised to learn that being on the spectrum is similar to being shy.

#3 As I began to read about Asperger’s Syndrome, I realized that it was more than just a collection of social and communication problems. It was clear that I was on the autism spectrum, and I was relieved. It explained so much about my life that I’d thought was my fault.

#4 I’ve been blogging about my experiences as an autistic adult since I was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome. I’ve learned that there are few traits that are universal among people on the spectrum, which makes it difficult to write a definitive book about life on the spectrum.
