Publisher's Synopsis
Dr John Wise is the pen name of a doctor who has been a General Practitioner in Norfolk for over thirty years. However, it is only recently that it has been recognised that the personality and behavioural traits that he has had throughout his life are those of Asperger's syndrome. This realisation has caused him to look back over his life, the decisions he has made and the events and relationships that occurred in his personal and professional life and reflect upon them in the light of this new knowledge. It is a life like any other, with ups and downs, happiness and sadness, frustrations and triumphs, but perhaps with a professional and personal perspective that you may have not previously considered. Perhaps it will chime with you and your own journey through life. In this book we go through childhood and schooling, university and professional life, marriage and family life, divorce and estrangement from his children, then remarriage and partial reconciliation, to his joy at the opportunity to have a relationship with grandchildren that he thought he might never see.If, as the old saying goes, in order to understand a man, you need to walk a mile in his shoes, then please consider this book to be your guide for that journey. I hope you find it enlightening and worthwhile.
