Alverdine grew up not knowing why she had such trouble making friends, why she was clumsy and unco-ordinated, why noises and light and smells upset her. It wasn't until until she was 25 that she found out... Alverdine has Aspergers syndrome. In this book she writes about social interaction, about managing sensory sensitivity, and about re-thinking her identity in light of her diagnosis. This is her journey from "the dull thud of something long-suspected made manifest", through thinking herself flawed and broken, to self-acceptance and arguing for her right to exist, Aspergers and all. This 42-page pdf ebook contains a selection of the best and most popular articles from the Letters from Aspergia blog, updated and compiled with all-new illustrations. It will be delivered as a .pdf file, readable by most computers and devices.
