Description
After being diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome in later life, Dr. Johnson’s husband, Jim Hanks, felt great relief. He asked her to promise she’d write a book about their life together, so that others might realize that feeling “different” did not have to be so difficult. Her second book, Love and Asperger’s: Jim and Mary’s Excellent Adventure, fulfilled her promise to him. Come and enjoy hearing Dr. Johnson’s story as she shares their excellent adventure!
