I found it interesting to read a book written from this perspective. I didn't like that it was in a question and answer format, maybe because it felt like the answers were repetitive. I also found that I was confused by the little stories that were interspersed throughout and the longer story at the end. Were they about the author, or were we supposed to get something out of it, like a moral or a parabola?
On the positive side, I found it informative. There were questions that I had which were answered. The question/answer format allowed for quick 'chapters' which was good when I just needed to read for quick minute to fill time.
I enjoyed the story at the end of the book, in the forward. I wish that I had some context of it though. At first I thought that it was a story to allow the reader the chance to see how it might be to be autistic. But by the end, I was pretty sure it was not. Over all, just an ok read for me.
