Be different [electronic resource] : adventures of a free-range aspergian : with practical advice for aspergians, misfits, families & teachers / John Elder Robison.
All of a sudden, the concept of "people like me" took on a whole new meaning. Moments before, I'd have described myself as a middle- aged white male. I was a successful business owner, a husband, and a father. Now I was a guy with Asperger's. I was autistic. Everything else seemed secondary to that new facet of me. This must be how it feels when you find you have cancer, I thought. I was still the same guy I had been the day before. I didn't feel sick. Yet somehow, in a matter of seconds, my diagnosis had come to dominate my self-image.
