Review: Narrative with Teachable moments
Rating: 5 out of 5

This brief but compelling set of stories about those who are HFA and maintain their jobs and lifestyle nonetheless was eye opening. I suspect that a few of my friends are HFA. The author's narrative comments helped me understand the dynamics of the alcoholic's approach to everyday life that much better. The author makes the point that half of all alcoholics are actually high functioning and tells a variety of stories about them (e.g., the nurse who drinks rum and coke during slow periods on the job) as well as those who live with them. I appreciated being able to examine the issues from a range of perspectives. I also thought the practical advice about how to beat the problem was more than worthwhile. Good information and clear.
