Asperger's Syndrome In To Kill A Mockingbird

Mockingbird, a book you need to read.
The Horn Book had said that this about the book Mockingbird, “A strong and complex character study.” Some may that Asperger’s syndrome and autism are the same, but Asperger’s syndrome doesn’t affect children like autism affects children’s speech at young ages.
The book Mockingbird is easy to read, because of the words, length, and detail of the story. The book only has 232 pages, plus the author’s note. It is a quick and easy read for many older and younger readers. Reader’s will highly enjoy this book because of the length, detail, and words.
The book Mockingbird is a very emotionally detailed and moving book for others. The reader may not think that the book is not well detailed, but the detail is very well done for being from the perspective of a child with Asperger’s syndrome. When Caitlin (the main character) is trying to explain something it

just doesn’t come out right sometimes. On page 138, Caitlin states this, “I’m not so good with people. Or emotions.” When she really is just learning how to cope with these emotions. She is an excellent artist and the way she puts details into her drawings is what makes it detailed not just to the eyes, but in words and emotionally wise. It’s almost like her way of explaining her emotions. Most of the time the reader imagines what she’s drawing. The reader can tell that she is always trying to help others, even when she says the wrong thing and messes up. The way Caitlin shows emotion is in her artwork.
The book Mockingbird shows what a person with Asperger’s syndrome life and emotions through tough times in life.

It may seem like the main character (Caitlin) has autism and not Asperger’s syndrome, but she does not have autism. She really actually has Asperger’s syndrome (not autism). In the author’s note, it states, “This book was inspired by the events at Virginia Tech as well as my own need to try to explain what it’s like for a child to have Asperger’s syndrome.” When going through tough times in life, it’s harder for people like Caitlin who have to live with diseases such as Asperger’s syndrome or autism where they don’t fully understand emotions like others do. Autism and Asperger’s syndrome have a significant difference because Asperger’s syndrome and autism are both on the spectrum, but the difference is their language development. Most of the time people with Asperger's syndrome will not because of speech when they were younger. Basically, autistic people will not learn their language(s) as soon and or as well as children with Asperger’s syndrome or just normal

children.
In conclusion, the book Mockingbird is a heartwarming book that may even bring some tears. Some still may say that Asperger’s syndrome and autism are the same, but we all know that there are not. So, are you going to read Mockingbird? The choice is yours.
