About This Book

Autistic person and journalist Eric Garcia brings an insider's perspective and a reporter's eye to show that autism is a vital part of his community's humanity, not a disease that needs to be cured.

"Although he documents his sources clearly, there are sure to be readers who disagree with some of his arguments."

Kirkus Read review ↗ Near the Top
