The summer before she was set to head out-of-state to pursue her MFA, twenty-seven-year-old Cole Cohen submitted herself to a battery of tests. For as long as she could remember, she'd struggled with a series of learning disabilities that made it nearly impossible to judge time and space--standing at a cross walk, she couldn't tell you if an oncoming car would arrive in ten seconds or thirty; if you asked her to let you know when ten minutes had passed, she might notify you in a minute or an hour. These symptoms had always kept her from getting a driver's license, which she wanted to have for grad school. Instead of leaving the doctor's office with permission to drive, she left with a shocking diagnosis--doctors had found a large hole in her brain responsible for her life-long struggles. Because there aren't established tools to rely on in the wake of this unprecedented and mysterious diagnosis, Cole and her doctors and family create them, and discover firsthand how best to navigate the unique world that Cole lives in. Told without an ounce of self-pity and plenty of charm and wit, Head Case is ultimately a story of triumph, as we watch this passionate, loveable, and unsinkable young woman chart a path for herself"--. 541 $d 20150817. 600 10 $a Cohen, Cole. 650 0 $a Women with disabilities $z United States $v Biography. 650 $a Large print book. 650 $a Brain $x Patients $x Patients $z United States $v Biography. 650 4 $a Young women $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Learning disabled $z United States $v Biography. 856 2 $u http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=neh&tg=UI&an=10414551&site=novp-live $3 NoveList Plus 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006090510.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20170815011406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12CFA0B6A09E11E58A689C8FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
