I ordered this book once we learned that our child has PDD NOS. I read it cover to cover and it helped me understand my child's situation, and it comforted me a lot. It taught me to accept the limitations, and respect them. I wish you all great health.

This was a very good help to me writing my thesis on design for autism. The language of this book is very academic. I found it more helpful than other books because the writer doesn't just inform the reader about the history of autism, different differentiations, medical views and theories but also present a theory that attempts to combine the three important theories about autism. and in my opinion the writer succeeds in her attempt to a good extent. She presents an alternative point of view in explaining autism and the challenges people have. Also the use of the different stories and examples in the book makes the theoretical character of the book easier to digest. If you are writing an academic paper on autism then this would be one of the books I would recommend reading. Also the chapter on the differences between men and women brains was not only informative but I found it fun to read and learn about the differences!
