I finally finished _Asperger's on the Inside_ by Michelle Vines, and as an autistic individual only diagnosed myself at age 39, I could really identify with the life narratives that Michelle lays out in her engaging book. They ring so true to me and reflect my own experience growing up with autism (Aspergers) but lacking a formal diagnosis. My go-to pre-DX label was that of "introvert", but while this is not wrong, it's woefully inadequate, and Michelle's very visceral life experiences make this patently clear. I can very much relate to having friends yet managing to alienate them without ever knowing truly why.

A very enjoyable and informative read. Michelle was diagnosed with Asperger's in her late twenties and gives the reader an interesting and informative insight into her earlier life. She tells her story in an amusing and querky way and manages to to impart a lot of information about Asperger's in a positive way.. John H. Hardin said while also being organized in such a way that made stoping for a while at chapter boundaries easy to do without losing track of. This book manages to be an extremely engaging personal story as well as a wealth of information about Asperger's and the Autism Spectrum. Curiously, it was both fascinating enough that I didn't want to stop reading, while also being organized in such a way that made stoping for a while at chapter boundaries easy to do without losing track of the personal story. Had I bought a hard copy of this book instead of a Kindle copy, this one would go on my bookshelf as a keeper. I'm sure I'll be reading this one again.
The book follows Michelle in exploring her past and takes the reader with her on her journey to receiving and accepting her diagnosis. "Asperger's on the Inside" is an acutely honest and often highly entertaining memoir by Michelle Vines about life with Asperger's Syndrome. Instead of rehashing widely available Asperger's information, Michelle focuses on discussing the thoughts, feelings and ideas that go along with being an Aspie, giving us a rare peek into what it really feels like to be a person on the spectrum. A must read for all those who enjoy deep personal stories or have a loved one on the spectrum that they wish to understand better.
