My Autism Insights

When I first looked to put my daughter in preschool, I somehow ended up having a conversation with the director of the school about Gus and autism in general.  And although MM did not attend the school (sadly, it was a great program, but they had no available openings) I did walk away with a book recommendation.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Timeby Mark Haddon is a work of fiction that features an autistic teen as its main character and narrator.  It gave me my first glimpse of what the inner life of a person with autism might look like.  While I can’t say it’s an exhaustive examination, it is a somewhat enlightening read, not to mention a well crafted story.
