Thank you for doing your part to dispel myths. I was touched, inspired and was delighted by your sense of humor, especially the shaving of the counter top! In my community, we are trying to get together a group to help kids with AS and their parents. Here's a link to an article in our local paper with a mention of your wonderful book. Again, thank you! http://www.herald-dispatch.com/news/x1103457370/Aspergians-can-be-great-employeesAspergianArtisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05874272526155760158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-57761760410206808312008-08-04T09:28:00.000-04:002008-08-04T09:28:00.000-04:00Hmmm...perhaps I'll go to your keynote speech.

I bought LMTE when it first came out in hardcover (something I don't usually do--those hardcovers are 'spensive) because I have a son who has autism and I enjoy your brother's books. I loved it, loaned it to my mom, her husband, our nanny...I know those folks aren't going to re-read the book in paperback, and because I spent the bucks on the hardcover, I'm sad to say I don't think I can justify buying the PB too. Maybe I'll just check it out at the library. I hope you can give us hardcover buyers more details on your blog about the neato paperback extras. Please oh please?<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for writing the book. I really enjoyed it and it helped me to understand better what my own son might have going on in his head.

I need that extra chapter. I myself prefer trade paperbacks, as they are more affordable (I'm a girl who LOVES to buy books) and they fit nicely on my bookshelves. And they are packable in luggage. Last summer when I went to England and France and had brought four books and bought six, well, I can't image what hardcovers would have cost me in extra baggage fees!<BR/><BR/>Why aren't you touring in Detroit? We need you to, I alone have 5 girlfriends whose sons have Asperger's & I have two in my family alone.<BR/><BR/>thegirlfromtheghetto.wordpress.comThe Girl from the Ghettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835819923422825799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-18839244479352715742008-07-16T00:29:00.000-04:002008-07-16T00:29:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Samwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336381898208444720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-49897734361927578032008-07-15T14:44:00.000-04:002008-07-15T14:44:00.000-04:00Aloha John!These are interesting points that I thi...Aloha John!<BR/>These are interesting points that I think few readers realize- The paperbacks often are different or have more material - I know mine includes the reader's guide in the back.<BR/>And.<BR/>The book tours are driven by the readers and book stores not the author.

I grew up in the Portsmouth area (and am currently just an hour north in Maine) and I am THRILLED you will be coming to the area. Portsmouth is one of my favorite places. I actually have an uncle who works at the shipyard.

I am one of the 'extra' people who read, by the way...not a freak or misfit per se, just a mom of a child who was originally diagnosed with Asperger's and then it changed to Autism, rather than Asperger's. My goal is to work with these kiddos (kids on the spectrum) one day in a professional capacity so your book helped me gain insight from an adult perspective.Angela DeRossetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300138525442271956noreply@blogger.com
