Different, Not Less: Ultimate Success Stories from People with Autism and Asperger's by Tony Attwood, Temple Grandin

4.0

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.
