A revealing memoir about living with Asperger's syndrome that is by turns laugh-out-loud funny and achingly sad.
It is only when he is diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, at the age of 55, that Tom Cutler's life starts to make sense - his accidental rudeness, his strange obsessions (including road signs and Sherlock Holmes), his unusual way of dressing, and his trouble in company.
In this moving memoir, Tom explores his eccentric behaviour from boyhood to manhood, examines the role of autism in his family, and investigates the scientific explanations for his condition.
Eloquent, witty, and insightful, Keep Clear ultimately shows why the day Tom received his diagnosis turned out to be the happiest day of his life.
