Walking on Eggshells: Living With Asperger's Syndrome in a Non-Asperger's World

by Derek Hart

This is my story of being on the high functioning end of the autism spectrum - having Asperger's Syndrome to be precise - and my lifelong social and emotional struggles of being in the mainstream with this condition, as I was mainstreamed out of special education at six years old and have been mainstreamed ever since. This book includes some pretty traumatic tales of me being bullied, shunned, unable to fit into many aspects of mainstream adult society, particularly the workforce, and, well...feeling like I'm "Walking On Eggshells" wherever I go due to my being on the spectrum. If anyone on the spectrum, high functioning or otherwise, is able to get the feeling that he or she is not alone in whatever struggles they may be experiencing, or if any neurotypicals(non-autistics), after reading this, gains understanding and maybe a little sympathy of what Aspies and folks on the spectrum go through, then I suppose I have accomplished something.
