Description
Asperger's Syndrome (AS) is a complex neurological disorder that produces a wide range of antisocial symptoms. Sufferers are often highly intelligent in certain ways, yet completely inept when it comes to relating to other people. Very few encyclopedias even mention this condition yet expert estimates suggest that as many as one in ten may be directly affected. In this text, Barbara Jacobs reveals the truth about AS by detailing the story of one man and an impossible love affair.
