Lesko recalls the challenges she has faced going through life as an Aspie, as people with Asperger's are sometimes called. She also shares her accomplishments. She offers advice and guidance to parents, educators, and everyone with this syndrome. Having gone through life until the age of nearly fifty before discovering she had Asperger's, she presents a very unique perspective on her past, analyzing her life and her loves to this point. She hopes to help others with Asperger's syndrome to provide hope and encouragement that someone with Asperger's is just as capable of leading a very rich, exciting, and productive life as anyone else. She provides an unrelenting look into the mind of someone with Asperger's Syndrome, explaining that it is not a disease but a way of life. Her story is an inspiration to anyone who is different, in whatever way that may be. It focuses on the gifts she has been given rather than on her shortcomings.
