Diagnosed with autism at the age of 48: Steve's remarkable, and darkly humorous memoir is a must-read for anyone with an interest in a condition that is estimated to affect around 3% of Americans. Looking For Normal begins at a time before autism was a diagnosable condition. It provides a rare insight into children's mental health services in the 1960s, and describes Steve's journey through adolescence and adulthood; finally receiving an autism diagnosis in 2008. This book will be hugely helpful for anyone suspecting they have undiagnosed autism, and an extremely useful guide for people attempting to understand their autistic partner's “less than typical” behaviour. Looking For Normal will also be an extremely beneficial read for parents struggling to see the world through their autistic child's eyes. Readers will be informed, entertained and inspired by Steve's brutally honest tale of life through the complex lens of autism, OCD and depression. His story may be unique, but his symptoms are not.
