More Than Typical: (A Memoir)

By J. Michael Fortenberry

At the age of 32, a veil was pulled back, and everything changed.

Almost from the moment he was born, Justin was at odds with the world. Things failed to make sense, and no one seemed to be able to give him the guidance he needed to navigate many of the simplest things in life. Eventually, he would forge his own rules and connive his own tricks for daily life, but even still, certain daily things seemed illogical or irrational. The world didn't make sense.

Then, after several sessions with a psychiatrist, one word changed his fundamental understanding of reality: Asperger's.

After living with this new understanding, he has looked back on his life with a new lens. And with a new understanding, he has decided to tell his story. So many moments in his life have been marred by a lack of understanding. He has shared his story, describing several of the most important moments of his life, and focusing on his own thoughts and assumptions. Follow along as he describes the highs and lows of being a person with Asperger's in a world where he, and everyone else, lives under the impression that he's a normal, typical person.
