Before he received his diagnosis of Asperger Syndrome (AS) in the 1970s, Marc Fleisher was considered mentally retarded; yet he went on against the odds to gain two maths degrees and to undertake post-graduate studies in maths. In this engaging story Marc relates how, supported by his family and by services for people with autism, and despite family tragedy and personal difficulties, he learnt to get the most out of life. He shares, with humour and candour, a multitude of practical tips for people with AS, and those around them, rounding off his story with appendices on astronomy, parallel universes, and the mathematics of unfeasibly large numbers.
The early years - years 0-9; crisis time - years 10-13; teenage turmoil - years 14-18; the working life - years 18-21; deepening struggles - years 21-23; the apocalypse and new beginnings - years 24-26; university life 1 - undergraduate study; university life 2 - postgraduate study; present day - years 31. Appendices: What can we do to make progress? The art of joke telling; the universe; large numbers; making life easy.
