I quite liked this one! I was afraid, when I started it, that it would be a Sheldon Cooper "autism". But it isn't. It is a much much more realistic view of autism, and, as a person with autism and an autistic child, I appreciated that.

The story was also interesting and I liked the way it was written. The footnotes were a funny touch.

In all, I found it a realistic representation of life being messy and wonderful and awful.
