If you have a kid with autism, a friend with autism, work with autistic kids, or would love to know what goes on inside their beautiful brains, you haven't to read this book. It is written by a 13 year old Japanese boy. The format is a basic question and answer format with stories interspersed. It's very eye-opening and points out to me where I need to me more patient with my boys. This will be a book I reread a bunch to remind me the struggles my son's go through just to live in our world.
