Jeanette Purkis spent her early life reacting violently against her
feelings of embarrassment, anger and confusion about her
'difference' from other people. She was unaware until well into
adulthood that everything she found difficult, including her lack
of success in forming relationships, could be a result of having
Asperger Syndrome. Used to being a misfit from a very young age,
Jeanette found that being a member of a group in which she had a
label - Jeanette the Communist; Jeanette, Enemy of the State;
Jeanette the convict; Jeanette the drug addict - gave her a sense
of order she could depend on, particularly in prison, where each
day had a set routine and the inmates accepted her because of her
rebel attitude. Finally diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome at the age
of 20, the author only began to accept her diagnosis some years
later when she felt for the first time that she might learn to cope
with being herself. Jeanette's remarkable life and her journey
towards finding a different kind of normal is compelling and
inspiring reading for people with autism spectrum disorders, and
those living or working with them.
