As the parent of an adult with special needs, this book was very interesting to see how generationally the trait of asperger's/autism can affect families. While following the journey of the author and his son I thought it was very interesting in the "out of the box" ways he helped his son pursue his interests. I LOVED the idea of buying stock in companies that interested his son as a way to gain access to see their facilities and learn more. Wish I had thought of it!! The story does get bogged down a little in it's details, but overall it would be a good read for anyone interested in being involved with a special needs family or is living in one.
