Growing Up Asperger's: Living it on the daily . . .

That point was a low point for me. It wouldn't have been so bad if everyone would have left me alone-but, because they didn't, I became incredibly frustrated.

It's not easy when life throws a curve ball-and, it was the last thing author Dee Sheridan expected. Still, when she realized her third child, Jesse, was dealing with things she didn't understand, she threw herself in overdrive, trying to figure out why he was different from her other children. When Jesse was finally diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, Sheridan quickly learned how he perceived the world, and it became her goal to offer him a life in which he would be safe, and secure.

Jesse was Asperger's.
