Attraente, originale... emotivamente pericoloso. Una storia d'amore con una persona con sindrome di Asperger

Mi dispiace dare solo tre stelline a un libro che mi ha affascinata così tanto, ma ho trovato l'autrice veramente insopportabile, come se volesse mettersi in cattedra e spiegare la sindrome di Asperger da una posizione privilegiata.

Further, Danny is an extrovert, atypical of Aspergers. If Miss Jacobs had started with the reasons she was attract Leggi tutto

Although most of the story was only about the author's view. I found many interesting facts and reasons for the behavior of someone with Aspergers. I think it is a helpful book for anyone that deals with a loved one in their life with this disabilty.
