Recenzii

"Profound and essential. Laura James generously allows us to envison theworld through her eyes, as the mundane is infused with a synesthetic beauty. Atestament to the aspects of autism that are so rarely appreciated."

--John Elder Robison, author of theNew York TimesbestsellerLook Me in the Eye


"Too often a woman'ssuccess is pegged to the 'posse' with whom she surrounds herself. Laura James,relying on her independent spirit and the differences that set her apart,becomes an accomplished writer and starts a communications agency while raisingfour children.Odd Girl Outoffers a choice of freedom overconformity through the understanding and embracing of one'sdisabilities."

--Eileen Cronin, author ofMermaid: A Memoir of Resilience




"A masterpieceabout autism and a vivid narrative about human frailty and strength."

--LianeHolliday Willey, author ofPretending to be Normal: Living withAsperger's SyndromeandAsperger SyndromeSafety Skills for AspergerWomen: How to Save a Perfectly Good Female Life


"There are so many myths about what it means to be autistic and Laura tells her story beautifully and truthfully. You will live every moment with her, feel her pain and want to right the wrongs. Some books make a big difference, this is one of them. It should be read by everyone."
--Natasha Harding,The Sun
"An important, touching and incredibly honest book with a wry sense of humor, which challenges the preconceived ideas people have about autistic life."
--Rachael Lucas, author ofSealed With a KissandThe State of Grace


"Courageous and graceful...Readers will walk away with a new understanding of how autism actually functions."
Booklist
"Witty and illuminating, James' book offers an intimate look into the mind and heart of an autistic woman who learns to understand her difference not as brokenness but as the thing that makes her unique. A candid and unexpectedly moving memoir of identity and psychological upheaval."
Kirkus
"Honest and revealing...James demonstrates the complexity of autism, with its strengths as well as weaknesses."
Library Journal
"James's story, told in an affecting, honest way, is at once intensely personal and extremely relatable... [it] reminds us to have compassion for those who defy our definition of normal, whether or not they have a label."
