I'm somewhat fascinated by autism, its various shades, and how it can work for someone

as much as against him. I don't think those with autism are so much 'broken' as 'different' in how they think and view the world and society. So I read Autism First-Hand: An Expert Interview With Temple Grandin, PhD (free with registration) for a look into what it's like to be autistic. I really need to read her book, Thinking in Pictures: and Other Reports from My Life with Autism.
