When he was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age 20, Aaron  Likens began to collect his thoughts and experiences on paper-the  highs, the lows, the challenges, and the unexpected joys. What he found  was hope -- not only for himself, but also for others with Asperger's.  Now a sought-after speaker and blogger, he is passionate about sharing  his insights into this often misunderstood condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAaron has another passion, too: the world of auto racing. A  successful flag man at racing events across the country, Aaron calls  racing his Kansas-a place where he feels safe, confident, and normal.  For others on the autism spectrum, Kansas might be trains, history, or  the weather. It is here where, like Aaron, they find freedom, and the  possibility for growth and change\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinding Kansas\u003c\/i\u003e brings us into Aaron's world and, in the  process, offers a richly observed, deeply thoughtful, and sometimes  painful picture of what it's like to live on the autism spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tarcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43406762836223,"sku":"9780399537332","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780399537332_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307481","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780399537332","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
