About this listen

Begin. I am 10 now. Ten, two times, five times, one a million times over if I want. Or 10, 10 ones are 10 every time. Ten. Dad says it's Asperger's, syndrome is a sickness, not like a bellyache but sometimes an earache or a brainache. AS means that some things that other kids think are easy are not so easy for me, and some things that other people think are hard are simple as pie for me. Look, look, look. Follow me, do not follow, look. That is what they say. They: Jan, Mom, Dad, Lucy. Look. They want to know what I remember. I remember everything.

Follow the story of Leonard Anthony Pearce: brilliant, articulate, ambitious. And living each day with the challenges and opportunities of high-functioning autism, making his way in a confusing world.
