Yesterday at work there was a Mom that came in and brought all her kids in for an eye exam - 5 of them in total. Unfortunately, the youngest boy had been severely crippled by Autism. We were unable to get any sort of information for his eyes because he was unresponsive to instruction and unable to stay still.
We talked about how sad it was to be brought down by something that we can't fix.
This book came up between a co-worker and I.. It's about a boy that has Autism, but is gifted with brilliance. The book begins with Christopher, the main character, discovering the body of his neighbor's dead dog. He goes on to investigate the death using mathematical techniques and logic, narrated through first person. The rest? well I'm not completely sure yet.. I haven't decided if I wanted to read it yet because I bought it for Diana. I really think she'd enjoy this. We'll see!
