The Boy Inside - An Asperger's Syndrome Success Story

By Rhonda Jones Vardeman

At a very young age, Eric Vardeman was displaying signs of unusual behavior. Not the least bit interested in things a child of his age should be interested in, Eric was fascinated with certain things--pieces of string, ceiling fans, animal tails. His parents began a quest to discover why their young son approached life differently from other children his age. Eric was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism. With help from professionals, family and friends, Eric received the tools he needed to live a happy, productive life. This book chronicles the journey of Eric's life--from birth to college. It is told from his mother's point of view but is laced with Eric's own words as well as those of his therapist. The end result is a compelling narrative which shows that perseverance and conviction can overcome many obstacles and that success can be achieved. The Boy Inside is truly a success story.
