    Describes the author's life before and after diagnosis with Asperger's Syndrome. This book follows his through primary and secondary school, where his lack of social interaction and anger land him in trouble, and where he is bullied for being different. It helps those unfamiliar with Asperger's Syndrome to understand the condition better.

    This gripping and at times astonishing story will be inspirational to all adults either facing Asperger's Syndrome personally or interacting with someone who has been diagnosed. In his own imitable style, Chris Mitchell describes his life before and after diagnosis with Asperger's Syndrome. We follow Chris through primary and secondary school, where his lack of social interaction and anger continually land him in trouble, and where he is bullied for being different. Only his excellent memory and specialist interests enable him to continue, and pass his GCSEs and a GNVQ in Media Studies. At college, studying Journalism, he is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Suddenly his life makes more sense, and his self-awareness means his self-confidence returns, resulting in world travel, a Masters qualification and finally, acceptance.
