Summary
Jeannie grew up with autism, but no one around her knew it. Twirling Naked in the Streets will take you on a journey into the mind of a child on the autism spectrum; a child who grows into an adolescent, an adult, and becomes a wife, mother, student, and writer with autism.
This is a gripping memoir of a quirky, weird, but gifted child who grows up never quite finding her niche. It took 38 years to discover that all the issues, problems, and weirdness she experienced were because she had Asperger's Syndrome (AS), a form of high-functioning autism. The tale begins at age three and takes us all the way through her diagnosis. Along the way she explains autism in a way that will have fellow "Aspies" crying tears of joy at being understood, and "neuro-typical" people really starting to grasp the challenges that autistic people face every moment of every day.

many familiar anecdotes that will ring clear.
Many familiar anecdotes that will ring clear for those on the spectrum. It's pleasing to see more female writers documenting their struggles.

Essential reading for adult women with ASD
Often lost and undiagnosed girls/women with AS find this story helpful and interesting. It's about time we (ladies with AS) had some literature to gain understanding from.

Amazing insight
Beautifully written about the challenges faces by someone with high intelligence growing up with autism. Heartbreaking, but also full of hope.
Everyone should read this book. It gives us a better understanding of those (many) around us living with ASC.
