Description
In this unprecedented book, Grandin delivers a report from the country of autism. Writing from the dual perspectives of scientist and autistic person, she tells how that country is experienced by its inhabitants and how she managed to breach its boundaries to function in the outside world. What emerges is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who in gracefully and lucidly bridging the gulf between her condition and our own, sheds light on the riddle of our common identity.
