She wanted to understand why she had stopped coping with everyday life; why motherhood had been so overwhelming and isolating, and why the world felt full of inundation and expectations she can't meet. Setting her feet down on the rugged and difficult path by the sea, the answer begins to unfold. It's a chance encounter with a voice on the radio that sparks a realisation that she has Asperger's Syndrome. The Electricity of Every Living Thing tells the story of the year in which Katherine comes to terms with her diagnosis. It leads to a re-evaluation of her life so far - a kinder one, which finally allows her to be different rather than simply awkward, arrogant or unfeeling. The physical and psychological journeys become inextricably entwined, and as Katherine finds her way across the untameable coast, she also finds the way to herself. 541 $d 20210504. 600 1 $a May, Katherine $x Health. 600 1 $a May, Katherine $x Travel $z South West Coast Path. $z South West Coast Path. 650 7 $a Asperger's syndrome. 651 $a South West Coast Path (England) $x Description and travel. 941 $a 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20211116015552.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3F77728846AB11EC99ED60D12BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
