Hello all,I am a 26 year old with Asperger's, who mostly lurks on this list. I have just finished writing a book about my life, Asperger's, and other disabilities that I have, and I thought that it might be of interest to some people here. "Common Scents: Adventures in Autism and Chemical Sensitivity" is a book that intersects disability, ability, life challenges and travel. The book is at first an account of my two years spent traveling around the country to find a safe place to live due to my chemical sensitivity challenges, and at second a look into life with Asperger's and chemical sensitivity. The book is divided into nine chapters, and each chapter focuses on a different city that I have lived in, from New York to Montana to Oregon and beyond. Through my experiences in each city, the reader get's a sense of life with Asperger's and MCS, and the value and struggle of of building relationships with other people.

Or, as the back of the book describes it, is "The story of a young woman's search for physical and emotional safety as she journeys through the mountains of the Cascades, small coastal towns on the Oregon coast, and out-of the-way towns in upstate New York. Along the way, she experiences things she would never have dreamed possible had she stayed in her Maine hometown, and begins to learn the power of human connection."If anyone is interested, you can find more information about it on this website:http://kategoldfiel d.webs.comShould you be interested in purchasing a copy, there is a link at the bottom.

I am so glad there are communities such as this one to support everyone affected by AS.Keep up the good work :)Kate
