​

This best-selling memoir, "Atypical: Life with Asperger's in 20 1/3 Chapters," which was published in 2010 by Penguin Group (USA). Jesse strives to put a human face on Asperger's to make his readers laugh, empathize, and better understand what it means to see the world through the prism of autism. 

 

Diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome (AS), a mild form of autism, at the age of fourteen, Jesse struggled with many of the hallmark challenges of the condition--from social awkwardness and self-doubt to extreme difficulty in dealing with change and managing emotions. 

 

Readers have a chance to look through the window of Asperger's, as Jesse shares his unique perspective on such topics as overcoming bullying and chronic rejection, finding purpose and strength, coping with compulsions, and making peace with ritualistic obsessions (including an enduring love of the postal system).
