Excerpt from Asperger Syndrome Love Story

"When Jake was first diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, I was devastated. I didn't know what it meant, and I was afraid of what it would mean for his future. But over time, I came to learn that Asperger's syndrome is not a curse, but a gift. Jake is a brilliant and creative boy, and he has a unique way of seeing the world. Asperger's syndrome has made him different, but it has also made him special."

"Raising a child with Asperger's syndrome has been a challenge, but it has also been a rewarding experience. I have learned so much from Jake, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be his mother."

"Asperger Syndrome Love Story is a memoir about my family's journey of learning about and accepting Jake's diagnosis. I hope that by sharing our story, I can help other families who are going through similar experiences. I want to show them that they are not alone, and that there is hope and joy in raising a child with Asperger's syndrome."
