Praise for Atypical "Brilliant, creative writing." -Temple Grandin, Ph.D., author of Thinking in Pictures "With a voice as keen and honest as any I've ever had the pleasure of reading, Jesse Saperstein cracks open the underbelly of life with Asperger's, mesmerizing readers with a tale that is as fabulously incorrigible as it is strikingly compelling. Jesse Saperstein is the son I always wanted!" -Liane Holliday Willey, author of Pretending to be Normal: Living with Asperger's Syndrome "This funny, poignant, and honest book provides further evidence that Asperger's Syndrome is no cookie-cutter diagnosis. Atypical also informs us that Jesse Saperstein is a wonderful addition to the world of Asperger literature." -Michael John Carley, executive director of The Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership (GRASP) and author of Asperger's From the Inside Out "Amusing, surprising, and informative. Just when I thought I had learned all I can from personal accounts, I had the chance to read this one!" -Jerry Newport, author of Mozart and the Whale, with Mary Newport and Johnny Dodd "Jesse Saperstein's wise and compelling memoir lets us know how frustrating and strange life can be for a bright, resourceful young man with Asperger's navigating the typical world. Funny, irreverent, and ultimately forgiving of all the damage we 'well-adjusted' typicals wreak on those who are a little different from us." -Sigourney Weaver, actress "Jesse Saperstein is witty, insightful, and smart. He is also caring, social, emotional, empathetic, and able to learn from his mistakes and other people's rudeness-all traits we are often told that people with Asperger's don't have. I highly recommend this book to parents, educators, community members-frankly, to everyone. Jesse, I want to know what happens next; I hope you are working on a sequel!" -Chantal Sicile-Kira, author of Autism Spectrum Disorders and Autism Life Skills , Praise for Getting a Life with Asperger's "Jesse Saperstein's straightforward, frank advice on the methods he used to make a successful transition to adulthood make this book essential reading for individuals with Asperger's or high-functioning Autism." -Temple Grandin, Ph.D., author of The Autistic Brain Praise for Atypical "Brilliant, creative writing." -Temple Grandin, Ph.D., author of Thinking in Pictures "Jesse Saperstein's wise and compelling memoir lets us know how frustrating and strange life can be for a bright, resourceful young man with Asperger's navigating the typical world.
