This was an excellent read, a rare opportunity to understand what is going on in the minds of a high functioning autistic savant with Asperger's syndrome. If you have ever wondered why someone with autism is thinking about, this will give you a good insight.
What really tugged at my heart and saddened me was when he described his childhood years and how he dealt with school and other social activities. How commonly do we hear about how kids are treated if they seemed or acted differently. If only the bullies had known what the autistic children were going through, would they have been more understanding and patient and caring?
With the support of a loving family and his partner, Daniel is able to lead a somewhat normal life. This is what parents of autistic children would dream of for their own.
