This short book mostly consists of questions and answers from a Japanese autistic boy as he talks about how we sees the world. There is some controversy around how much those answers have been embellished by his transcribers and translators. I found the book interesting because I welcomed any insights into Naoki's perspective--and most of all, I see several pages in this book as starting points for discussions with my own son, who is twelve and autistic.
