Bethany wasn't diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome until she was 18 years old, at the end of high school. At 21, she's currently making great advances with the help of continuing therapy and hard work. She has a fascinating perspective on what it's like growing up with multiple learning differences, knowing that you're different, but not knowing why. Her experiences provide useful insights for others with learning differences, as well as caregivers, teachers, and friends.
