FITTING IN
Book ID/图书代码： 06930016B90814
English Summary/英文概要： "Everything in this book is true. You might think some things are just too unbelievable or funny or silly to be true, but every tiny detail really did happen."
Take one small boy; add manic depression, three wives, three daughters, two divorces, amazing creative talent, and Asperger’s syndrome. In this memoir, Colin Thompson invites you to explore his almost-unbelievable life from past to present, though not necessarily in that order. Filled with family photographs and mesmerising illustrations drawn by the author himself, prepare to step inside the life and mind of an extraordinary man.
If you, or your friends or relations, have ever felt that you do not fit in this world, then this book will tell you how one person survived it all.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本书中的一切都是真实的。你可能以为其中有些事情不可思议或者太过愚蠢或者可笑，不可能是真的，但是其中的每一件小细节都真的发生过。
一个小男孩，非常抑郁，三个妻子，三个女儿，两次离婚，再加上无与伦比的创造天分和自闭症。在这本回忆录中，Colin Thompson邀请读者探索他从过去到现在不可思议的生活，但记叙并非完全按时间顺序进行。书中还有一些家族照片和说明，都由作者本人挑选和记录，让人走近这个不同寻常的人的生活和头脑。
假如你，或者你的朋友和亲戚曾觉得你无法融入这个世界，那么这本书将会告诉你一个和你类似的人如何活到现在。(LYR)
Awards/获奖情况：Colin的自传吸引人而且信息量很大，但同时又是一本精致的作品。（选自Tony Attwood的前言，临床心理治疗师、著有畅销书《The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome》）
当我长大的时候，我期望能够过上和Colin Thompson一样的生活。激动人心、诡异又桀骜，同时充满哲理也让人惊叹。他丰富而多变的生活中每一处细枝末节都是那样有趣。作为一个被确诊而且以之为荣的自闭症患者，Colin的生活证明了即使自闭症也能拥有丰富的、回报丰厚的生活，甚至比正常人更为多姿多彩。（Adam Elliot，漫画作家、导演和制片人，制作了包括Mary and Max以及赢得学院奖的Harvie Krumpet等动画电影）
Thompson生动的自传讲述了这个特立独行的人的生活，还提供了照片、作品以及无与伦比的文字，让我感到自己也因为其中的精彩和明媚而快乐起来，甚至在有时候讲述着悲伤的情节时也能感受到雨后彩虹就在不远处闪耀着光芒。这是一本写得很好的自传作品。（Liane Holliday Willey，著有《Pretending to be Normal》和《Safety Skills for Asperger Women》）
Colin’s autobiography is engaging and informative, but is also itself a work of art. (From the foreword by Tony Attwood, Clinical Psychologist and author of the best-selling The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome)
When I grow up I want to have Colin Thompson’s life. A most glorious bittersweet soup; eccentric, irreverent, philosophical, nourishing and utterly fascinating. The minutia of his rich and varied life is as profound as it is funny. A confirmed and proud Aspie, Colin’s life testifies that those with Asperger’s can have rich and rewarding lives with a fecundity that so often exceeds the norm. (Adam Elliot, animator, writer, director and producer of films including Mary and Max and the Academy Award-winning Harvie Krumpet)
Thompson’s vividly told autobiography celebrates this unique man’s life with wonderful photos, artwork and brilliant stream of consciousness writing that reminds me of happy go lucky soap bubbles popping in spurts of bright bits and colors, eloquent and shiny, ever alluring and compelling in their rainbow brilliance even when the narratives are indeed sad and tragic. Fitting In is a most astoundingly brilliant autobiography. (Liane Holliday Willey, author of Pretending to be Normal and Safety Skills for Asperger Women)
Fitting in is always the huge challenge for an Aspie. Here is a journey that is honest, enlightening, moving and full of laughter. I really could not put it down. A must read! (Gillian Helfgott, author of Love You to Bits and Pieces: Life With David Helfgott)
Quirky, funny, sometimes painful, sometimes joyful and above all honest, Fitting In by Colin Thompson is a moving memoir of being different in a conformist post-war world. It ranges from the hilarious to the deeply sad, with a broad cast of heroes and villains. Above all, Fitting In is about finding your own way in a world where the odds are stacked against you and ultimately finding redemption through an amazing artistic talent. (Susan Dunne, author of A Pony in the Bedroom)
