Publisher's summary

The yard was a huge piece of property with a forest out back (or at least a few dozen trees). We had a barn and a horse (really a very small pony, but I didn’t know that then) named Romeo, because he liked to roam—often ending up out of the fenced pasture and out on the street. We had chickens, as well, in a coop by the barn up at the edge of the forest.

Mostly, I remember climbing the trees and hanging upside down from branches until my head hurt, then climbing higher and going upside down again. As an autist, much of life now feels like seeing the world from upside down, so I guess it was good practice.

Not diagnosed until age 46, author Mette Marie Ivie's memoir about an autistic childhood in a family that was probably filled with other autists, is a story of unique gifts, as well as challenges, that come to a linguistic/story-telling kind of autistic savant.

My friend Mette

I met Mette a few years ago while going through very similar life experiences.
I have sat across countless restaurant tables from her and have gotten to love and appreciate the spitfire that she is.
Her memoir is an engaging and fast-paced accounting of so many emotional and celebratory events in her life.
Listening to her tell of the way she was treated by her closest family, friends, and associates makes me want to give the little Mette a hug.
Her telling the story in her own voice makes this book all the more real.
I highly recommend this memoir.
