The cover is 8-year-old Dylan Dunne's artwork. Loved and saved for 28 years by the author, it seemingly was meant for the cover of this book featuring son Dylan. The drawing is profound in its prescience and lyrical in its execution. Like a juvenile self portrait, the depiction personifies the child who, no wonder, would grow up saying, “Wait, What Do You Mean?” It is this mom’s “Aspie Boy.”This tell-and-show story is about a family losing one son and finding another. It is about anxiety, confusion, depression, information, identification, acceptance and appreciation.... A classic theme of darkness and light.But the story is about much more than one family. It is about three generations of living adult Asperger’s Syndrome persons. Commentary from those who now recognize their presence in Aspiedom, writing on WrongPlanet.net, other Internet forums, and on personal blogs, is included here. In the “Aspies Speak” chapter, they unfold their experiences for you as you turn the pages.
