Very interesting read about the lives of adults, mostly in their 50's who received often late in life a diagnosis of autism or asperger's. Most of them struggled significantly during their childhood and in particular dealing with peers at school, but as adults have largely found their niche in life.

I love that this is rightly described as a book of success stories, although each person's path is so unique. This is a collection of personal narratives reflecting on school, employment and relationships while navigating the world with a diagnosis of autism. It is insightful to read the experiences of these adults, most of whom did not actually get a diagnosis until they were in their 40s or older. I would love a similar collection featuring the experiences of adults who were diagnosed as young children. Temple Grandin's introduction and conclusion to this book are thoughtful and provocative as always.

I don't think this book actually contains much about ADHD, but the various success stories are hopeful reminders that everyone is able to find their niche in life and enjoy it.
