Awesome book! About a 15 year old kid with autism. Fantastic piece of fiction. I'm about half way through, reading it between calls at my job.

Hmm, it starts ok and the style is clean and readable, but after about halfway through I got bored to tears with the endless tawdry description of things. 6/10 in my opinion, not one of literatures great works.

My mum's boyfriend read it and he may have it !
He used to get bullied in school, so he used to keep all his school stuff seperate from the stuff he liked
Like he really liked his bed so he never let any school stuff touch his bed and stuff like that
bizarre

He sound like a claassic case. Mess with his head and relace each left sock with another left one and the right with right. The fun!
My flatmate boasts that his superiour IQ has enabled him to logically bypass most of the freaky traits associated with Aspergers! He's an annoying prick most of the time...bypass that!

hahaha
yeah a lot of 'high performing' people with aspergers have to compensate for their deficient social 'insincts' by thinking everything through explicitly; what have i observed other people doing in the past, would it be normal to say something like this now? etc. must be a right arse.
