Pretending to be Normal - Living with Asperger's Syndrome (Paperback)

"Pretending to be Normal" tells the story of a woman who, after years of self-doubt and self-denial, learned to embrace her Asperger's syndrome traits with thanksgiving and joy. Chronicling her life from her earliest memories through her life as a university lecturer, writer, wife and mother, Willey shares, with insight and warmth, the daily struggles and challenges that face many of those who have Asperger's syndrome. The last part of the book consists of appendices which provide helpful coping strategies and guidance, based on the author's own experience, for a range of situations.
