[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 155774, member: 3704"] Terry, I read this book, it was a facinating and somewhat terrifying book. This fellow has made his life work, despite overcoming an overwhelming situation regarding his Asperger's Syndrome and his early childhood. His brother Augusten wrote "Running with Scissors" about his childhood with a bipolar mother. At one point his Mom sent him to live with her psychiatrist - who eventually had his liscense pulled. It is supposed to be a true story, although the psychiatrist's family did sue him for defamation. The book was a great success and was made into a movie. I think it is facinating that both of the guys turned out to be writers. Maybe this is the one positive outcome from enduring such stressful childhoods. OBTW, his brother Augusten has a new book out about his father entitled "A Wolf At The Table". I can't wait to read it. [/QUOTE]
