Parallel Play: Growing Up with Undiagnosed Asperger's

Parallel play: growing up with undiagnosed Asperger's is a memoir by Pulitzer Prize-winner and music critic Tim Page. The book was prompted by a popular article in the New Yorker, in which Page describes his confused and directionless childhood. Page's writing is lyrical and self-aware, with insightful passages like, "Not only did I not see the forest for the trees; I was so intensely distracted that I missed the trees for the species of lichen on their bark" and, "It would be easier for me to improvise an epic poem at a sold-out Yankee Stadium than to approach an attractive stranger across the room and strike up a conversation."
