ASPERGER SYNDROME AND ANXIETY , by Nick Dubin .
Of various Aspe's book at Amazon , well...

how are the books. i might buy it

and you triple post

I have read a lot of good quality books on Aspergers.

Yours is new to me. What do you think so far?

I saw this book recommended on another thread, and I thought of buying it myself. I thought the introduction sounded very promising, but I was a bit turned off by the first chapter, which you can read on Amazon. It says that all Aspies (in fact is says all people) feel inferior. I have my issues with AS and anxiety, but I have never felt inferior. I feel angry and frustrated, mostly.

But I'd be interested in knowing what you thought of the rest of the book.

I'm planning on splurging on a few Asperger's books, myself. I'm going to read them, and than lend them to my friends, and my family.

Please give us a brief review of the book when you've finished it. I really want to read this book, but my bank account is more than tight (er, I have less than $100 to my name...) so I'm putting it off. I want to know if it's actually good first.

My doctor recommended Temple Grandin's "The Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships," and I did buy that on sale... my mom split it with me. She thinks it will help me out at work.

Hope you cleaned up after yourself

Barnes and Noble is currently having a buy-two-get-one-free sale on a few autism books:

Obviously, after that you have to find that one-free book, though.

...Okay , I see that I , indeed , triple-posted .
The reason is that , when I was posting it , it wasn't taking hold/going up AT ALL , and , then , my 15 min. library comuter time ran out , with the post still not all done... Luckily , it did go up - albeit three times - when I came back and saw .
I'm nots sure about reporting .
I guess he had already graduated from college , even more , by the time he was DX'd , that makes him not " a failure " like me , I was going to give my reason for not ordering another book that that book's author was too successfull...
Anything else aside , as far as going back to college , my records are all f****d up/confused , as past experiences have shown , a\nd NOBODY wants to help , re: that , just repeat inanities about " Oh , sure you can do it ! Just call..." rather than actually help me , which would take a little effort on another person's part .
