Welcome

A Bookaholic, Pro-life, Conservative, Catholic, with Asperger's, who reads a lot. These are the ramblings of the books I read or read aloud to my energetic Autistic 11yo. I love reading almost any book from classics to mysteries to fantasy to ARCs. I sometimes go through stages of "genre love", get addicted to manga and graphic novels or get caught up in reading ARCs, but you'll find I read a wide variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction. I tend to post a lot of reviews of juvenile/teen books but I still do a lot of adult reviews as well. I read well over 200 books a year, but haven't made it to 300 yet!

Asperger's Contestant on Britain's X Factor

This is amazing!! Like many of us with Asperger's Syndrome, this young man (21 yo) has spent a large portion of his life in his home and now he has made it through to the next stage on Britain's X Factor. Embedding has been disabled so I can only provide you with a link. This young man can sing! Identified as Autistic on the clip, symptoms observed and further investigation do reveal he is Aspergers. He is such an inspiration to all of us. When I don't want to go out of the house, Scott, I'm going to think of you up there up on that stage!
