I'm really enjoying Ben Nugent's new book, American Nerd, which disects modern notions of "Nerdism" and "Geekdom" in our culture. I happend to pick up an interview he did the other day on WBUR's "On Point" from NPR (if you're driving just a few miles to the east of Keene, NH you can pick up the Boston stations, but not here in Keene). The book should be of interest to anyone on the spectrum or anyone who knows anyone on the spectrum. Ben has offered to do an interview for Asperger's Conversations...I'm hoping he can wait until I finish what so far is a terrific book!

This book sounds great - checked it out on Amazon.com. I definitely have to read this. My son was diagnosed with PDD(NOS) but fits the Aspie profile to a T, IMHO. And is basically a geeky nerd. He is also adopted, Asian, albino, visually impaired, orange-haired, math-crazy, chess-playing, skinny, brilliant and hilarious.
