Your review	A very endearing and clear narrative that tells the childhood and growing into adult life of the author, an extraordinarily gifted person who is able to overcome the challenges of his autism. The observations that he makes about his own emotions, or lack of, are very illuminating, and the planning of interactions is a real study of self-consciousness!
