Описание: In the spirit of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" comes an extraordinary - and true - love story of two people with Asperger's syndrome.
Rivetingly written through their own eyes, this astonishing and quirky memoir fully captures Jerry and Mary's highly unconventional lives and how they found, lost and found each other
again. Jerry and Mary knew they were different: all their lives they struggled to fit into a world that couldn't accept their eccentricities with their extraordinary talents, little knowing that
they both had Asperger's, an autistic spectrum disorder.
One amazing day their paths crossed and it was love at first sight. But they didn't bank on the media getting hold of
their story - or on Stephen Spielberg and Robin Williams knocking on their door for film rights to their lives. The media frenzy blew their relationship apart and once again they found
themselves alone, alien
ted and searching for reasons to live.
A heart-warming blend of tragedy, romance and hilarious quirkiness, this is an extraordinary true story of two people who refused to give
up on themselves - and on each other. It was only when Jerry went to the cinema to see "Rainman" that he understood why he was different: Dustin Hoffman's autistic character was
asked to multiply 4,343 by 1,234 and Jerry shouted out the answer first. Abandoned by her ultra-conservative parents, Mary became a musical genius: she could play any instrument
perfectly and would compose multiple symphonies at the same time - forwards or backwards.

Описание: When Jerry and Mary Newport met, the connection was instant. A musical genius and a mathematical wonder, the two shared astronomic IQs, but they also shared something else -- they both were diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism that affects millions of Americans and makes social contact painfully unbearable. When Jerry and Mary married, they were catapulted into the limelight. They appeared on "60 Minutes" and soon were known as "superstars in the world of autism," shining examples of two people who refused to give up in the face of their mutual challenge.
But just when it appeared that their lives would enjoy a fairy-tale ending, their marriage fell apart. The Hollywood feeding frenzy was too much to handle, and they divorced. After heartbreaking years of soul searching, Jerry and Mary remarried. Today, with their union stronger than ever, they have dedicated themselves to helping countless other people with Asperger's and autism lead lives of dignity. "Mozart and the Whale" is an unforgettable love story of the incredible chronicle of their journey together -- and apart.
