Natural Genius
Natural Genius: The Gifts of Asperger's Syndrome is Susan Rubinyi's story of raising her son Ben who has Asperger's Syndrome (AS), and how she has come to view his condition as a blessing. While acknowledging the challenges posed by AS, she emphasizes the extraordinary positives of her son's life and his particular gifts - his photographic memory, perfect pitch and French-English bilingual abilities. Susan Rubinyi advocates a strength-based approach and explains how her personal experiences - living abroad, foreign languages, science fiction and music, as well as her own feelings of alienation - have helped her understand alternative and cross-cultural perspectives in life. This book should be read by anyone concerned with bringing up a child with Asperger's Syndrome.

What connects these individuals? They all have AS. John M. Ortiz celebrates the qualities of individuals with AS he has met through his clinical experience, including their characteristic tenacity, honesty, and attention to detail, and looks also at the wide range of careers they have chosen and in which they flourish.
