Aspirations: My Adventures with Autism

'At the age of 49, after years of wondering why I didn't fit in with the rest of the world, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. As I learned about the world of Autism Spectrum Disorder, I discovered I had a lifetime of experiences and knowledge I could share. I wrote and designed this book so that it is easy to read, and to help people understand some of the day-to-day experiences of living - and learning to thrive - with autism.'With endorsements and accolades from experts in the fields of mental health and Autism Spectrum Disorder, this unique collection of Virginia's real-life stories is designed for those who don't like to look at long, dense sequences of words. Virginia's expressive, funny illustrations and bullet points of text take you on a journey without all the jargon, relating her experiences in a deceptively simple style that will have you laughing, crying and at times recognizing 'Hey, I do that.' Whether you're on the spectrum or not, or just unsure and wondering what's going on for you, there is much in this book about 'human' for all readers.
