Luke Jackson is 13 years old and has Asperger Syndrome. Over the years Luke has
learned to laugh at such names but there are other aspects of life which are
more difficult. Adolescence and the teenage years are a minefield of emotions,
transitions and decisions and when a child has Asperger Syndrome, the result is
often explosive. Luke writes briefly about his younger autistic and AD/HD
brothers, providing amusing insights into the antics of his younger years and
advice for parents, carers and teachers of younger AS children. However, his
main reason for writing was because "so many books are written about us, but
none are written directly to adolescents with Asperger Syndrome. I thought I
would write one in the hope that we could all learn together".
