I read it a few years ago, it was recommended by a doc I met at a friends party. I recommend it!

I own & have read this book (Shadow Syndromes by J. Ratey & C. Johnson).
At first, it annoyed me. Read it again, and I liked it better the second time. I get annoyed at new (to me) things when I first get them. Takes time & familiarity for me to get over that reaction, then I can re-discover item/book/whatever & find out how I "really" feel or what I "really" think. The entire book was good-read whole thing, not just the ASD section.
