Luke Jackson's lively collection of illustrated poetry allows vivid insights into the internal world of people on the autism spectrum. With a focus on the adolescent years – perhaps the most challenging time for anyone with Asperger Syndrome (AS) – 16-year-old Luke considers issues such as unrequited love, the pursuit of happiness and finding calm amid the often overwhelming confusion and frustration that accompanies AS. His impressive writing style is complemented by an array of photographs of himself and his family.Crystalline Lifetime offers a poignant impression of life with Asperger Syndrome and will prove an illuminating read for anyone hoping to gain an understanding of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), and a source of encouragement to readers living with ASDs.
