WILL HADCROFT:
Will is the author of four novels and his autobiography, the highly rated The Feeling's Unmutual, Growing Up with Asperger Syndrome: Undiagnosed. A moving, insightful and at times brutally honest account of growing up, knowing you are different but not understanding why. Eventually discovering Asperger's Syndrome, thanks to an article in a Doctor Who Magazine, and a subsequent diagnosis, the pieces started to fall into place. A positive and inspiring read for those with Asperger's and the people around them.
