I can't even remember where this book came from, but I wish it had stayed there. A non-autistic man waxes lyrical about what he thinks it means to be autistic. To be fair to the author, the book is incredibly outdated and *everyone* was pretty ignorant about autism in those days. Many people still have a poor understanding, but it did show that we've come quite a long way, I suppose.
