Welcome aboard and nice to meet you :)
That is not a problem at all, I was wanting to know what your book was called anyway :)
:)
That was supposed to say great to meet you.....
Great news meet you Tom!
Welcome Esther, glad to meet you :)
I am interested! Feel free to share them here, maybe others are interested.
:) no problem, i try to keep up with it here, not always easy though.
Hey guys, glad you joined, and posted. I am 32 and don't have an official diagnosis, just a self diagnosis. My mom and aunt diagnosed me first 12 years ago.
Welcome Christian and Ash, glad you joined the group and discussion :)
Welcome Ash :) we don't get much activity here but I will try to check back often if you want to chat.
Welcome everyone, glad you introduced yourselves :)
Thank you for sharing the book here :)
Yea, that was the main reason I joined Goodreads, was to track the books I was reading and also to find other books that I might want to read. I don't have an official diagnosis but I have read enough about ASD to know that I probably am an Aspie but getting a diagnosis as a female is a lot harder, unfortunately. I actually like the term aspie better than some of the "official" names they have given us. I like the play on words better that Rudy Simone came up with "Aspergirls." I created the group just to see what other aspies were reading, not necessarily for socialization. I have the forum that I created for that and here is the link if anyone is interested in socializing with others on the spectrum http://butterflyscreations.proboards.... if not, that's fine too.

Welcome Josh. Nice to see you found us. please feel free to post books you have read into the group and ask for advice on other books that you were wondering if they were any good :)
ah, I will have to check out that one too :)
the "Asperger's in Girls" do you mean "Asperger's and Girls" by Tony Atwood or "Aspergirls" by Rudy Simone? The second one is the one I have read, I tried to read one of Tony Atwood's books: "The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome" but had a hard time concentrating on it. It wasn't written in a way I could relate. I have also read "Pretending to be Normal" by Liane Willey. I also tried reading a couple of Temple Grandin's books but I couldn't concentrate on those either. I then moved on to the John Clark/Jack Ryan series. I am on the 4th book in the series "The Hunt for Red October."
Well I had tried getting some activity going but nothing will happen if others don't show interested in adding to the book list and discussion so I got tired of trying to get things moving. If you want to get things moving that sounds great. If anyone else has read anymore books relevant to the type of group or just books you want to add to the list, that's fine by me. I want to know what you all have read Autism related or not.
Welcome, glad you posted :)
