My Life with Asperger's
Author(s): Megan Hammond
Megan Hammond always felt a little bit different to other people but did not know why. Being diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at the age of 26 was a breakthrough for her and her family. This is an honest and inspiring account of how it feels when you can't read the social cues that others take for granted. Asperger's Syndrome is one of the more common Autistic Spectrum Disorders, which have been recognised in one in every 100 people. The diagnosis of autistic disorder is given to individuals with impairments in social interaction and communication as well as restricted and repetitive interests, activities and behaviours that are generally evident prior to three years of age.

Throughout her childhood she had problems at school and then as an adult experienced difficulty in keeping a job. She was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 1998, at the age of 26, and the fog that had permeated her life finally began to lift.
