Thanks for recommending my book The Feeling's Unmutual , ForestRose. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Like all Aspies, I have my "specialist subjects" (obsessions) and use them to cope with day to day life.

ordered a bunch different AS books including Pretending to be Normal, Nobody Nowhere, and The Feeling's Unmutual, and read them, and I am expecting more in the mail. I'm glad you read mine, Missy. I struggled to get a diagnosis because I'm borderline Asperger's. I can make eye contact, I don't talk...
