Willey, who has a doctorate degree in psycho-linguistics, is a writer and lecturer on the topic of Asperger syndrome. She has the syndrome herself, as does her youngest daughter. Here she provides a personal and personable, though somewhat rambling account of how she and her daughter survive as 'aspies' in a world of NTs neurotypicals . She offers an abundance of practical hints for functioning in various situations e.g. keep party gatherings small, practice social behaviors before the party, find calming behaviors and use them discretely and a large amount of wisdom gained from experience, as well as some resources. c.
