A fascinating book written from the perspective of a teenage autistic boy. This book definitely reminded me of my father, who is autistic. While clearly I did not know my father when he was at this age, some of the thought processes and behaviours of the main character amused me in the same way that some of my dad's behaviours and mannerisms can be amusing. It definitely helped me to understand the inner-thoughts and workings of someone who is autistic. Although the author himself is not autistic, I have heard from several autistic people that this book sheds a pretty accurate light on the life of someone with autism. It was a fast and amusing read! Highly recommended!
