Asperger's: A Literal Journey

By David Marr

We all know people popularly described as “on the spectrum” - people who have Aspergers Syndrome. In this memoir, David vividly and clearly describes what that means: in the home,  in schoolyards, in classrooms, in the work place and in a love relationship. And the reader learns from the inside out.
