My older sister told me that my family always knew there was something 'wrong' with me, but they didn't know what, and it wasn't until I was retired and attending a party of less than 7 people (my "limit") that someone said they didn't like people who didn't look them in the eyes. I knew all my life I hadn't done that, with the excuse that 'I didn't like what I saw in others looking at me', but I started then to consciously do that, and I assumed that I grew up on the autism scale after reading a bit about that. This book filled me in on everything I'd missed throughout my life, because no one ever diagnosed me earlier, through only daring to date at age 31 and afterwards through two failed marriages and a bout with depressive disorder and a move across the country to find someone who seemed to 'get me'. Almost everything in this book gave me insights to my condition and acceptance in a better attitude towards myself and others. The future's not so bright that I have to wear shades, but I thought that song was kinda stupid anyway LOL.... BTW I am now 74 years old, though my body is 57
