Library Item Name:

Autistic adults learn about themselves by acting 		   
Summary Statement:

Susan Meyer loves to sew. The clothing she wears to Renaissance festivals -- she made it. That satin-y pink-and-blue quilt hanging in the School of the Arts building at Montclair State University -- Meyer stitched up its cascading blocks with silver-and-gold thread.

She drives, she jokes and she has Asperger's syndrome, a disorder related to autism that is characterized by impaired social interactions, repetitive behavior patterns and intense preoccupation with narrow areas of interest. Along with Asperger's, Meyer, 33, has been diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Even when she's indoors eating pizza, she keeps her hands covered in a pair of floral gardening gloves.
