Amazon Description for Anniversary Edition of “Going Over the Edge?”

“‘Going Over the Edge?’ is bold, brave, and beautiful. I love how you define “Aspie” dynamics and create a language around stuff that is almost indescribable. I cried a bunch of times. It means so much that someone really understands what this life is like and can describe how the solution is more than the NeuroTypical (NT) being accommodating and understanding. I love hearing about the author’s personal experience and knowing that she gets it! I want my therapist to read this book.”

“Dr. Marshack gives relatable examples of living with someone who has ‘Aspergers’ and offers effective advice from her years of experience with family members on the Spectrum and counseling families dealing with the same/similar issues. ‘Going Over the Edge?’ is a must-read for anyone living with someone on the Spectrum. I laughed and cried at the same time. It is comforting to know you are not the only person dealing with these issues.”
