Living Beyond Normal is a memoir of one person's struggle with Autism.

 

Adam A. F. Sherman is 30 years old. His goal in writing this touching, informative, often painful, but always poignant autobiography is to "be a voice for the disabled community in our quest to be heard and accepted by society as equal human beings."

 

What is it like, exactly, to live with Autism? Sherman brings his experience to life in these pages. We walk the proverbial mile in his shoes-and inside his head. As with the colors of the rainbow that make up the puzzle-piece-inspired ribbon that emblemizes Autism, no two Autistic people are the same, so Sherman's Living Beyond Normal is by no means universal in the particulars of his detail. And yet there is a feeling of universality in the telling of his story.

 

Writes Sherman "I am a person with autism. I am not a hero, I am not an activist, and I am not special; I am just a person who is doing what I believe is the right thing to do. I hope that this benefits those who are like me, as well as people with other internal struggles of their own. I also want those considered neurotypical to know that we are here, and that we deserve acceptance, understanding, and love."
