Frík, nördar og aspergersheilkenni

Frík, nördar og aspergersheilkenni
Þegar Luke Jackson var þrettán ára vantaði hann vegvísi fyrir snilling af því tagi sem aðrir kalla stundum frík eða nörd. Svoleiðis bók var ekki til og því gerði hann sér lítið fyrir og skrifaði hana. Í Frík, nördar og aspergersheilkenni talar Luke til annarra krakka sem greindir hafa verið á einhverfurófinu en einnig foreldra þeirra, kennara og fagfólks.
