On the Outside Looking In: My Life on the Autism Spectrum

On the Outside Looking In: My Life on the Autism Spectrum by Lehmann, Russell. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781614758266.

In this book is Russells story of overcoming the odds and achieving immense personal growth. Exposing his vulnerabilities, naiveties and painful personal experiences, he relays the many lessons learned and insights gained throughout the challenging circumstances in his life. Through emotionally powerful stories and intense poetry Russell paints a 100% unapologetic, no-holds-barred portrait into how his mind has coped through constant struggle. Also included are numerous poems that give a very raw and transparent look into the world of autism, OCD, depression, anxiety and more. This book is unlike most. Beginning with words in both poetry and prose, everything is built to increase the understanding of Lehmanns unusual and creative mind.
