    Synopsis

    An encouraging, educational, and often humorous guide for teens and adults living with Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autism. Jerry, a man with autism, gives advice on dating, money, traveling independently and more! This clever book will help others live fuller, more independent lives.

    Forward by Ron Bass, Academy Award winner for Rainman.

    Your Life is Not a Label

    This is a wonderful new addition to the list of books written by individuals on the autism spectrum for several important reasons. First, it is not an autobiography. This is Jerry's advice to others who live with autism about maximizing their potential and minimizing their grief. The book is written in what I call "pure, vintage, Jerry Newport." By that I mean that those of us who interact with Jerry personally and those who hear him speak know of his tremendous wit and ability to express his opinions and observations clearly. I would recommend Jerry's book to all MAAP readers: parents, professionals, individuals on the spectrum and others who care about this population
