This book for me was inspirational and thought provoking. It allowed me an insight into the mind of a person with Autism and shed light on why particular behaviours maybe displayed. Thus, enabling me to respond more appropriately to a person with autism's needs, rather than the task that needs to be carried out!
I found the book distressing in parts (due to how Donna is being treated by others) however, the strength and dermination of her is remarkable. There were parts in the book that made me laugh e.g. her inability at times to generalize and the reactions of others. Considering i find reading difficult (due to dyslexia) i was unable to put this book down. My family where impressed as it usually takes months to ... Read More: >>More Details |

This book opened up a whole new world for me in a way that none other has. I've always thought of celibacy as a drag and one practicing it was dull, bored and generally hated men. From what I read, I believe every woman must at least have a look at it whether or not in a relationship. See how liberating a period of celibacy can be and be sensual, sexy and purposeful at the same time. It's not just a no sex book but a "get-your-life" together manual and there's no male bashing or religious dogma involved anyway. The writer lets us know that celibacy isn't owned by any religion so you don't need to believe in anything per se to see it's benefits although you may have a new experience or understanding afterward. The language is simple and down to ... Read More:

This book covers a period just prior to internet prevalence and the digitally connected world. This book is one that any adult on the autism/Asperger's (a/A) scale will readily identify with as it addresses issues people on the spectrum contended with prior to being able to find one another and understand living with "undefined differences." Donna Williams' early life reads like a Dickensian classic. She survived poverty, prostitution, homelessness and the abuse that so often accompanies these societal obstacles in a person's life. She has traveled extensively from a geographical perspective as well as a diagnostic one. It was only when she had long reached adulthood that she was formerly diagnosed with autism. Many ...

Jumbled Jigsaw: An Insider's Approach to the Treatment of Autistic Spectrum 'Fruit Salads'by: Donna Williams December 09, 2005 |

The Jumbled Jigsaw is a very daring book. Where other books have written about co-morbid disorders in those on the autistic spectrum, this book discusses how a combination of such co-morbid conditions could actually contribute to what appears as autism and the developmental and health impacts of infants left with untreated mood, anxiety and compulsive disorders who, without treatment, may never acquire the communication skills to confirm a diagnosis of such co-morbid conditions. Hence, the whole thing becomes something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Williams goes into the taboo areas of environmental impact on people's developmental disabilities. To what degree might an incompatible environmental approach increase the presentation ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is a book about the experience of sensing not the mechanics of perception... it is philosophy, not science. The basis of the book is the idea that most people move quickly on from sensing the world to interpreting it, but that autistic people either remain in the sensing stage or never quite fully let go of it. I identified with a lot of the thoughts and experiences related here and found it interesting and enjoyable to read. I think there are many people who might not 'get' where this is coming from though... from those who do not understand her philosophical approach and mistake it for bad science to those who take every word literally and mistake this for a book about the paranormal. This isn't a book suitable for everybody, but if ... Read More:

Finding a Different Kind of Normal: Misadventures with Asperger Syndromeby: Jeanette Purkis January 12, 2006 |
||
|
I have an adult son with Aspergers, and as president of our local Aspergers support group I have had a chance to meet many Aspergers adults. Reflecting some of those whose experiences are at the extremes, this book provides unique insight.
"Finding a Different Kind of Normal" will be of interest to families and professionals who want to better understand Aspergers adolescents and adults and some of the more difficult challenges they face -- aggressive violence, drugs, prison, depression and other psychiatric problems. What I found most fascinating about the book is simply the very honest and straightforward way that Jeanette Purkis tells about her sometimes dramatic experiences, all the while providing considerable insight into her ...
