'Ten years ago, I picked up a copy of Tony Attwood's Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals. Little did I know it would change me, my family and our lives together. This straightforward, no nonsense book did for me what nothing and no one else in my entire life had ever been able to do. Simply put, it explained the whys behind who I was, and in so doing, it gave me the building blocks that would enable me to become who I am today - a happy and confident, gainfully employed, married mother of three.
