Twirling Naked in the Streets will take you on a journey into the mind of a child on the autism spectrum; a child who grows into an adolescent, an adult, and becomes a wife, mother, student, and writer with autism. This is a gripping memoir of a quirky, weird, but gifted child who grows up never quite finding her niche only to discover at the age of 38 that all the issues, problems, and weirdness she experienced were because she had Asperger’s Syndrome (AS), a form of high-functioning autism. The tale begins at age three and takes us all the way through her diagnosis. Along the way she explains autism in a way that will have fellow “Aspies” crying tears of joy at being understood, and “neuro-typical” people really starting to grasp the challenges that autistic people face every moment of every day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAward-Winning and Bestselling Memoir – 2013 Reader's Favorite International Book Award Winner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJourney through the captivating and heart-wrenching story of Jeannie Davide-Rivera as she reveals the struggles and triumphs of growing up with undiagnosed autism.
