What is the main conflict in Pretending to Be Normal: Living with Asperger's Syndrome by Liane Holliday Willey?

In the introduction to the book, Willey emphasizes that autism is not a single disease but is a spectrum of disorders including many abilities and disabilities. Asperger's Syndrome involves social impairments, difficulties communicating, and challenges engaging in abstract thought. 'Aspies' or Willey's term for those with Asperger's Syndrome, tend to have very specific interests, highly structured and repetitive routines, unusual ways of speaking and talking, and poor coordination. It is not always obvious whether those you know have Asperger's because many of the challenges can be concealed.
