I felt affirmed by this book, and the highlights I made in the Kindle version are going to be handy bookmarks to remind myself of the author's advice about improving my social awareness. All of us in my family are "Aspergians" to different extents, and the more I read makes me realize that my mother also is on the spectrum, which made it difficult for me to get n-typical feedback about how to get by when I was growing up. Books like these from the "autism speaks" community (including Temple Grandin's Unwritten Rules of Social Discourse) take away a lot of the stigma I've felt over the years at my unease and conflicts in social situations, and my sense of being from another planet. The most comforting things Robison says are "our brains are complete; it's just the interconnections that are different," and "Delayed isn't never." As the mom of two Aspie girls and with an engineer husband, this book has helped clarify how I can give them a nudge into better connectivity with the neurotypical world, as well as allowing me to step back and assess how can use strengths to compensate for social weaknesses.
