autism book.

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

yes. it's an excellent book. It's even good if you're not
interested in the autism spectrum.

Speaking of autism, read -- if you haven't already -- Mark Haddon's The Serious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, an outstanding first novel by a British writer with a background in working with autistic kids. Very funny and empathetic, about one such terrifically engaging 15 year old.
