Fascinating and very well-written book about a future in which autism begins to be cured. It gives an inside-an-autistic-person's head view of how it feels (the writer has an autistic son), how society might support the autistic in being more productive and independent, and looks at the question of whether a person would choose to be "normal" having lived all his life with this difference. Though I was somewhat unhappy with the ending, it was very well worth reading and really made me think.
