All exhibited traits common to people with Asperger's Syndrome. Today's young people and adults with AS can also make a difference if they are given support, opportunities, and the freedom to explore their abilities. Many accomplished people have been loners, self-taught, obsessed by an idea, and known for their lack of social skills. How many of them would be diagnosed with Asperger's today? Norm Ledgin makes convincing arguments for an Asperger's role in each of their extraordinary lives. Helpful chapters include: A Challenge for Parents, Teachers, and Health-Care Professionals The Lonely Perspective of the Asperger’s Child Dealing with Fixations that Drive Us Nuts A Ride in the Time Machine of Logic F
Norm and his wife Marsha were professional partners as safety educators, and then business partners in weekly newspaper publishing for fifteen years. With this book, they have renewed their professional partnership, after a hiatus during which they dedicated themselves to full-time parenting. They have two daughters, Stephanie and Allison, and three sons, David, Alfred, and Nicholas.
Mr Ledgin examines the possibility that some of histories most loved and respected artists, musicians, and scientists may well have been on the autistic spectrum, and quite possibly achieved what they did not just despite their differences but perhaps even because of them.
This book is not so much an attempt to diagnose famous historical figures as a sincere look at what traits these people had in common with the autistic spectrum, the objective being to remind those who receive this diagnosis, their families and their schools, that having difficulties with some things doesn't mean you lack potential or talent. No more than one cup of coffee a day and only a few times a week. But we can share the excitement, the sense of wonder, the hope for the future when we read what this legend has to say, and we look up at the night sky and the moon and think about those great days.
Highly recommended, in its own right as a great book on the space race, and as part of the Apollo st
