As a child, Sophia Summers always knew she was different and misunderstood. Hers was a lonely life of obsession and passion, fraught with anxieties, vulnerabilities, confusion, and heartbreak.

In Sophia’s remarkably candid and deeply personal memoir, she offers firsthand insight into the unique challenges and experiences of both living with Asperger’s Syndrome and raising a child with AS.
