My name is Erin Clemens. I'm 24 years old, and I want to help others understand what my life is like living with Asperger's Syndrome. My hope is that people can learn from what I have been through, and apply it to what may help someone they know on the spectrum. To me, autism isn't a death sentence. It's just a different lifestyle. The views expressed are my own.

What an amazing, insightful book! I have friends with children who are autistic. Just reading this taught me so much about the different path that they were given as parents. It's something that we really don't discuss other than to acknowledge that life has been much different than they thought it would be. The author presents quite a few tips for everyone to learn from what she feels, sees and experiences and more importantly.. copes!This book is a must read for any parent, grandparent, family or friends who want to understand what it's like to spend just a few hours from an autistic teenager's perspective. Goodness know.. every teen thinks they are alone and the only one experiencing certain experiences. When in fact.. they are just growing up.
Very enjoyable and informative read!

I Have Asperger Erin Clemens 9781304931122 Books Reviews
This is a collection of Erin's blog entries spanning about 2 years. Because this is her personal blog, the writing style is suited to such a platform, as opposed to a novel/narrative writing style. There are sometimes things she repeats, and sometimes things she mentions in passing without explaining, but that is her right. I can't really critique the writing of such a format and there was only one noticeable editing mistake.
I hope she's doing well.

I enjoyed the journal-style format of this book because it shows how a girl on the autism spectrum gets by day to day. Erin Clemens has humor, spunk, and a real mission to help other people by sharing her story. It's an everyday story, which I appreciate because everyday people are easy to identify with. If you or someone you love has high functioning autism, this book will help you see yourself (everybody loves company!) or it can help you understand something about your loved one. I've read more complex books about autism and each genre has its place. "I Have Asperger's" spoke to me like a friend, as I sat on my couch and read. I especially identified with the stories about the dog, as any pet lover will.
Very eye-opening. It's a must-read for everyone. People in education & law enforcement in particular should read this to gain a better understanding. I'm still not finished reading. I love the fairly unedited approach to the writing; it makes it very personable to appear to be coming more from the author herself rather than edited for content by an editor who has no understanding or connection to ASD. The author's dad pretty much played the part of editor and his forward explaining his position as "editor" is very well-written (way to go Dad!) but the book still appears to be from the author herself. Erin, if you're reading this review, thank you for writing your book!
I did not know what to expect, but it looked interesting. This is not a book written ABOUT somebody with Asperger's; it is written BY someone with Asperger's. Good read to "put the shoe on the other foot." We go through life seeing and making judgments about people with these types of syndromes and diseases and most of the time never try to stop and see things through their eyes. This book is a gathering of blog posts and notes written by Erin Clemens about her life and how she functions with Asperger's on a day to day basis. She also talks about how to help those with this syndrome, because unless you have a loved one with Asperger's, most people really don't know what to do if there is a problem or how to act. Good read if you are just curious.....great read if you know someone.
I was interesting and insightful to see things from their perspective.
I HAVE ASPERGER'S by Erin Clemens
For anyone who has Asperger's or knows someone with this condition, Ms. Clemens' book may very well be a life-saver. It may also save interpersonal relationships that had been previously deteriorating through lack of understanding.
If the author sounds narcissistic and self-absorbed it is because that is how AS manifests itself to people who lack knowledge of Autism Spectrum Disorders. According to Wikipedia, one can see that it did not appear in diagnostic manuals until the late 1990s
"Asperger syndrome (AS), an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is a relatively new diagnosis in the field of autism. [1] It was named in honor of Hans Asperger (1906–80), an Austrian psychiatrist and pediatrician. An English psychiatrist, Lorna Wing, popularized the term "Asperger's syndrome" in a 1981 publication; the first book in English on Asperger syndrome was written by Uta Frith in 1991 and the condition was subsequently recognized in formal diagnostic manuals later in the 1990s."
Ms. Clemens demonstrates what her life is like in various situations; she illustrates what causes her "meltdowns" and "tantrums " and explains the difference between the two. She strives, on a daily basis, to be understood; in fact, that is probably her fondest desire. She is normal, but a "different" kind of normal. Her life is anything but easy, yet despite all the trials and tribulations, she manages to hone her coping skills and unselfishly passes them on to others through speaking engagements in the hope of helping others with ASD. She also generously provides links to various groups that provide information and assistance to those who seek such help.
This book takes the reader on daily excursions into the author's life, and it also gives hope for the future of those afflicted with this disorder.
Many thanks to you, Ms. Clemens, and best of luck with your endeavors.

I also have Aspergers Syndrome and I can relate to quite a bit in this journal style book. It's definitely worth a read. I know what the "black and white" thinking", sensory issues, and social issues feel like in life and you get to see the author grow throughout the book. It definitely offers insight for those who are looking to better understand young adults on the Autism Spectrum even though we are all different and unique. Thank-you for sharing your story Erin!
