Résumé du livre
Could it be Asperger's? How many undiagnosed Asperger's sufferers - and their partners - are trying to make sense of a marriage that just doesn't follow the rules? Having been mistreated herself, and not taken seriously by professionals, Will Baker decided to write down her story for other 'partners-in-distress'. Will writes her own experiences in the form of a dialogue to her husband. She writes about herself, the beginning of their relationship, their family life and the therapies that followed. She also records in this book her diary and emails exchanged with another 'partner in distress'. Will's book shows her battle with psychiatrists, her journey through an official tribunal and on to the final conclusion. This story of Will Baker's experience is easy to read, and her mission is to open the eyes of professionals and lift the lid on this under-diagnosed problem. Many medical professionals still don't recognise Asperger's Syndrome, and the family consequences can be devastating.
