Description: "Something makes Travis Breeding different than everyone else. But it isn't what most people he's met think it is. Travis Breeding has never been like others. Growing up, he noticed some of the differences--he had a bed-wetting issue; he had difficulty with fine motor skills; he became obsessed with his special interest, trombone; and most troubling for him, he had trouble making friends. He just couldn't seem to fit in with anyone and didn't understand how socializing worked. He couldn't understand why people didn't like him. Why did everyone think he was so weird or creepy or psycho? Was he? Travis hit a low point in his college days and began making suicide attempts. When he finally learned he has Asperger's, it wasn't quite the solution he longed for. He didn't want to accept it. But once he embraced it, he realized he could begin making changes that could someday lead to living the life he wantsone that includes a family and good friends. And even more, he could help others just like him"--Page 4 of cover.
