I really enjoyed the first 38% of this book, where the author shared his sudden diagnosis, at age 55, of Aspergers. As a teacher who teaches several autistic students, this insight into the mind of an "Asperger", as the author calls them, was quite intriguing.

After these first two chapters, though, the author took a very long detour through a *quite* thorough telling of his life history, and frankly, it just didn't hold my attention. At 87% he returned to update the audience on his current life, and my interest picked up a bit. I mean no disrespect, I just had a hard time determining what sort of book this was supposed to be- Insight Into Autism, or The Long and Winding Path to Here. I think there is an audience for each of those books, but I'm not sure the two audiences contain the same people.

I appreciate the opportunity to read an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. My thanks to the author, publisher and #NetGalley. #KeepClear

A great book, it is slightly wordy in places but I found it incredibly interesting to read and would definitely recommend it.

I absolutely adored this book, it made me laugh, it made my heart hurt and I just loved it so much. Such a unique story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advance readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

Unfortunately, while I really enjoyed the honesty of the first part of this book, I wasn't able to finish this one. The reason being is that the book very gradually turned into a dry textbook - and while there was the occasional interesting sidebar, I just couldn't bring myself to wade through the text to find all of them.

But even though I couldn't finish - thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to learn what I did from this book!

I really struggled to get into this book. There are parts that are wonderful, but they're hidden amongst the long and winding narratives. Every person's journey is different and equally important...this one was just difficult to follow at times.
