In her vivid world, nothing is simple and everything appears pertinent. Even an average trip to the grocery store is a feat and cause for reflection.</p><p><strong>From being a dyslexic cheerleader with dyspraxia</strong> going the wrong direction, to bathroom stalking, to figuring out if she can wear that panty-free dress, Craft explores the profoundness of daily living through hilarious anecdotes and heart-warming childhood memories.</p><p><strong>Ten years in the making, Craft's revealing memoir brings</strong> Asperger's Syndrome into a spectrum of brilliant light--exposing the day-to-day interactions and complex inner workings of an autistic female from childhood to midlife.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"There has never been another book like Everyday Aspergers.
