I'm Not A College Student

Revisado: 01-30-23

Book a disappointment. Focus seemed to be mostly driven by note-taking in an educational or collegiate environment. I'm 68 years old and was looking to learn about more cohesive & organized way to create outlines or notes for keeping track of personal experiences and knowledge gleaned from a variety of literary sources to refer to as I try to chesively compile content for current and/or future non-fiction manuscripts. Also a way to identify bibliographical information of information in notes for inclusion at end of completed manuscript no matter whether it's a short informational document or book manuscript. This book was not an effective use of my time/attention for the value of content.

Enlightened Alternative to Autism

Revisado: 06-04-22

I knew I was "Different'" than other girls/children my age and received lots of bullying my entire life. Recovering from a lethal OD in 2005 (age 51), my spirituality intensified. By late 2006, it was suggested by professionals that I might be an Autistic Savant. My social skills and stemming reflect that of a person on the spectrum; however, I've had GI & sleep problems my entire life (autoimmune issues genetically from both parent lineages). My health has had a marked decline the past 18 months, and I'm panicked because I've lost control of my health and well-being, but have financial obstacles preventing adequate diagnostic testing. This book is VERY informative. It has confirmed that more than late-diagnosed autism is responsible for the physical & behavioral complexities that has led to decline in Quality of Life and unknown mortality at age 67. I have now obtained this book's electronic version (eBook) to use in researching my poor health and provide other diagnostic resources for my HMO doctor.

Very Insightful Info

Revisado: 03-24-22

Late-diagnosed @ age 60. Gave me great info about what, in my past, qualified as Aspie-related behaviors and/or tendencies. Listening to the British narrator the 8+ hours for the entire book had to be broken into 90-120 minute listening segments.

Listening Better Than Reading

Revisado: 03-10-22

I was diagnosed with ASD & Savant Syndrome at age 60. I read as much as possible, but found only people with ASD really understood, especially late diagnosed adults. That is until I read this book. I realized just how much my life experiences were connected to being an Autistic Savant with high intelligence. I'm a visual person who gets severely overstimulated with all the tiny letters (forming words) on a page. I found that I retain information by listening.
