First review for Life in the Asperger's Jungle on Amazon:

My fifteen year old son, who has Aspergers, and I are considering a move to the "Big Island" of Hawaii jungle region where Ms Joy now lives. When the book arrived here, I eagerly tore open the packaging and flipped to the chapters on the author's life in Hawaii, She aptly describes the trepidation around her decision to move there as we are similarly having now, and describes well the struggles with her Asperger-related physical and aural sensitives in a new unfamiliar environment, as I'm sure I can expect my son to have when we move there, it's all too familiar, the same for us. I found helpful lessons from her experiences that I'm sure I can extrapolate to benefit both my son and myself when we find the opening we're looking for to make a similar bold move. Son keeps asking when I'm going to be done with the book so he can read it himself. So I made it an official homeschool assignment, one I won't have to nag him about:-) --John Lionheart

Train of Thoughts

I move too fast
for my train of thoughts.
My body flying ahead,
thought train following
slowly derailing every now and then.
And my body flies.
Arriving at my destination
faster than my words
I stand looking in circles
wondering why am I here?
If I stay patient they often show up,
a small delay,
and then in one moment
there they are
and it’s ok.
