This book， a collaboration between Jory Fleming， a young autistic man， and Lyric Winik， is based on a series of conversations between Fleming and Winik。 The words are Fleming's， describing his life and how he has dealt constructively and effectively with his autism to come to grips with his autism and function effectively in a world of neurotypical people。 Winik has worked through the transcripts of countless discussion hours to produce a synthesis of Fleming's ideas and beliefs。 The product is This book， a collaboration between Jory Fleming， a young autistic man， and Lyric Winik， is based on a series of conversations between Fleming and Winik。 The words are Fleming's， describing his life and how he has dealt constructively and effectively with his autism to come to grips with his autism and function effectively in a world of neurotypical people。 Winik has worked through the transcripts of countless discussion hours to produce a synthesis of Fleming's ideas and beliefs。 The product is an illuminating， fascinating insight into the world of autism--or， at least， one high-functioning member of that world。 As such， the book is instructive to non-autistic people and hopefully will be inspirational to other autistic individuals who are working hard to make their own， highly individual way in a neurotypical world。 Every case is different， but Fleming's observations contain much that should be of great use to others， no matter where they are on the spectrum。 An outstanding book。 。。。more

Written in a question and answer interview style， this informative book will teach you much about how this particular person， Jory， with autism sees and interacts with the world。 People who are non-Neurotypical are not all the same， but Jory gives us an in-depth look into his mind， emotions， and views from his unique perspective。This book does not read like a story， there is no beginning， middle， and tightly tied up ending， but rather it serves to teach those who would like to learn more about a Written in a question and answer interview style， this informative book will teach you much about how this particular person， Jory， with autism sees and interacts with the world。 People who are non-Neurotypical are not all the same， but Jory gives us an in-depth look into his mind， emotions， and views from his unique perspective。This book does not read like a story， there is no beginning， middle， and tightly tied up ending， but rather it serves to teach those who would like to learn more about autism。 If that is what you were looking for， I would give this book a five， but if you were looking for more of a biographical type book， I would give it a three。 That being said， I will settle on a four-star rating because this book definitely serves a purpose as an educational book on autism。 I would also give a shout out to Jory， for being so patient， thorough， and articulate in trying to explain the way his mind works。 He is a remarkable young man！ Thank you to NetGalley for the advance read copy。 。。。more
