Through 150 telling journal entries, Samantha Craft presents a life of humorous faux pas, profound insights, and the everyday adventures of a female with Asperger’s Syndrome. A former schoolteacher and mother of three boys, Craft doesn’t experience ordinary everyday happenings like most. In her vivid world, nothing is simple and everything appears pertinent. Even an average trip to the grocery store is a feat and cause for reflection. From being a dyslexic cheerleader with dysgraphia going the wrong direction, to bathroom stalking, to figuring out if she can wear that panty-free dress, Craft explores the profoundness of daily living through hilarious anecdotes and heartwarming childhood memories. When she’s not laughing at the bizarreness of her days or reflecting back, then she’s sharing the serious and relevant challenges of everyday living on the autism spectrum. Ten years in the making, Craft’s revealing memoir brings Asperger’s Syndrome into a spectrum of brilliant light—exposing the day-to-day interactions and complex inner workings of an autistic female from childhood to midlife.

Samantha tells a delicious story, filled with happy and sad and everything in between, as she documents her everyday findings with her Asperger's. This is a great read for anyone with Asperger's or Autism as well as family and friends who want to understand it better. It's wonderful to hear from people who are #actuallyautistic to get the full story.
I LOVE the book!! I absolutely love how all the feelings I have kept trapped inside all these years were magically transformed into writing from Samantha!!!

This book is amazing. She writes concisely and from the heart. I was moved to tears many times. I also was joyful many times. She shows the world what it is like to have Aspergers. to be aspie! I haven't read a book this good in a long while.
At the age of 43 I learned, like my two oldest sons, I was on the autistic spectrum, an Aspie. I remember heaving a huge sigh of relief, as it explained so much of so many facets of my life. Having just finished reading "Everyday Aspergers" I see so many more of these facets through Ms. Craft's writing. Raw, honest, candid, real. Ms. Craft pours her soul out as a refreshing glass of lemonade on a sweltering summer day. Reading her story is like brunch and a porch swing with a close friend. This is a journey you will not regret taking.
This book is an inspiration to not only female aspie's, but also women who have Aspergers and also are mom's. So many times I have seen or read something by Mrs Craft that absolutly reflected a situation within my life. If you are the significant other, sibling, parent, friend or just want to understand more about life with Aspergers this is the best book you can read. Lovely sentiments, clean clear writing, strong emotion, if I could give this book more than 5 stars I would.
After many years in the making, Everyday Aspergers is here at last! :) Sam offers a sensitive, in-depth look of women and autism/Aspergers from a personal viewpoint. If you know anyone on the spectrum, love anyone on the spectrum, work with someone on the spectrum, or just want to get a better understanding, this is DEFINITELY a book worth reading! :)
Absolutely The Most W😍NDERFUL Collection of writings regarding "just how it is" for So Many on The Aspergers Spectrum & for "ordinary"(if there is such a thing) Humans as well!!!This Book is Helping "Me" in the Deepest and Most DelightFull Way...Do Yourself a Favor...Read This Book👍💜💜💜🙏
I pre-ordered Everyday Aspergers and have now read the first 13 of its 150 journal entries, which are already helping me as the father of an Aspie Girl to see and try to experience the world if not from her perspective then with the knowledge of what her perspective might likely be. Samantha Craft writes with a conversational style where I immediately feel like we’re old friends chatting over a cup of coffee or tea, with the inside narrative of what were you really thinking and the knowing uh-oh’s of you didn’t really, did you? In her Entry No. 9, “Ten Traits (Females With Aspergers),” Ms. Craft deftly takes me through a series of statements with explanations of things about my 9 year old daughter that I have been on my own long journey to recognize and understand and two years of my own research is suddenly answered in five flowing pages before seamlessly taking me away to her own childhood memories or description of a beloved pet as I drift timelessly in the currents of her thinking and writing, explanations and stories.I believe that Ms. Craft is quite successful in fulfilling her goal as laid out in her Introduction, where she stated: “I have traveled through the words you about to enter a thousand times over – in memory, in reflection, in prayer, and in reading. In them is my life song, my hopes, my life. It is with great love I pass on this interwoven journey to you. And it is my sincerest wish that the words serve a purpose in some way, feasibly to provide a substantial view of the mind of a woman with Aspergers and, furthermore, to shine an incandescent light for those of us living inside the spectrum.”
