I used the words "suffer from Asperger's syndrome" deliberately in the first paragraph as that is how I saw it. Liane is a doctor of education and she is happily married with three children. It also gave me food for thought about conformity pressures in our society and how we treat people who seem different from the norm. I felt the author's descriptions of her struggles to communicate with others and cope with sensory overload gave me a real insight into how Liane thinks and feels. The book is well written and easy to read and I found it hard to put down. I looked forward to reading the book to see if it would help me to understand how a person with Asperger's might think and feel. Before reading this book I had some academic knowledge of the symptoms of Asperger's Syndrome which had stimulated my curiosity about what it might be like to suffer from the condition.
