just finished
I just finished reading this, which I would not recommend. I kept waiting for it to get good. I guess it is good because it gets the autistic mind right, but that is not something I am looking for. Perhaps if I had read it with that in mind, it would have been better for me.
However, there is this quote that I found humorous, “But Siobhan said we have to use those words because people used to call children like the children at school spaz and crip and mong, which were nasty words. But that is stupid too because sometimes the children from the school down the road see us in the street when we’re getting off the bus and they shout, “Special Needs! Special Needs!” But I don’t take any notice because I don’t listen to what other people say and only sticks and stones can break my bones and I have my Swiss Army knife if they hit me and if I kill them it will be self-defense and I won’t go to prison.”
Sometimes I feel like that as well.

You didn’t like it? I’m sorry. I really liked it, or at least I think I did. I read it years ago.
Do you want to read the other book by the same author? I’ve got that one at home and can find it for you. I thought it was pretty good.

I was just bored, that is all. All the maths and analytical thinking started bugging me and I would skip those parts.
