This book is a must-read for any parent of a child with any type of autistic-spectrum disorder. Using clear descriptions and eben pictures, Daniel Tammet explains his unique gifts and sensory experiences in a way that really helps the reader understand his unique perspective and experiences. Daniel's condition of "mixed senses" where he sees numbers as shapes and colors is truly a rare condition that he uses in all circumstances to his advantage. It is clear to see that Daniel considers his "disorder" a gift.
