review 1: A very short book written by a 13-year old Japanese boy who has autism/translated into English. It is set up as questions and answers posted to the boy, and he responds to the questions. The way he communicates is through an alphabet board. I read it in one sitting and liked it, but not so much to give it 4 or 5 stars. If you are interested in the subject, or anything realted to the subject you will enjoy it.
review 2: This is such a wonderful take on books about autism. Usually, as it explains in the book, the book is written by researchers, people who have overcome their autism, or people who know others with autism. However, this was written by a young autistic boy who gives the reasoning behind the quirks of autistic people and expresses so much more about
... moreautism than other books. This isn't scientific. It's personal. less
