Choosing to write this book in Q+A
format was an excellent idea.
The book gives answers to many of those awkward
questions that polite people would never ask directly.
The answers from a 13 yr old boy who has autism are honest and insightful. Along with Temple Grandin, this young man will change how we understand autistic people where ever we meet them.
From the book:
Q24. Would you like to be normal?
... I have learned that every human being, with or without disabilities, needs to strive to do their best, and by striving for happiness you will arrive at happiness.
... But for as long as we can learn to love ourselves, I'm not sure how much it matters if we are normal or autistic.
