Crystalline lifetime fragments of Asperger syndrome - Jackson, Luke (Jessica Kingsley, 2006)
This illustrated collection of Luke Jacksons insightful and often poignant poems offers a glimpse of the emotional and visual sensibilities of people on the autism spectrum in their adolescent years & ndash; perhaps the most challenging time for anyone with Asperger Syndrome (AS). Luke writes perceptively about identity, struggle, loneliness, love and the pursuit of happiness, and about finding calm amid the often overwhelming confusion and frustration that accompanies AS.
