Breaking Through Hidden Barriers

Breaking Through Hidden Barriers is the memoir by author Nick Dubin. From an early age, Dubin and his family knew that he was different from the other children his age, though no one exactly knew why. Years later the question was finally answered, Nick Dubin was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Dubin believes that people with austim spectrum disorders have "hidden barriers" that hide their communication and intimacy skills. And because of these barriers, typical people Dubin calls "neurotypicals" are less tolerant of those who have barriers.

Breaking Through Hidden Barriers tells Dubin's story and its relationship to autism. The book is written for people who have an autism spectrum disorder, but it can be a great help to parents, grandparents, peers, and professionals as well, to better understand the perspective of a person with ASD.
