Florida's sense of humor will delight and intrigue all who read this book. It's a great read for anyone learning to navigate the social maze of our society, "normal" humans as well as those who feel "alien" like Florida. Not only does this book provide fresh insight into the world of autism, it is also a valuable resource to all educators and families with children on the spectrum.

It represents eight years of growth and self-exploration. There have been many books written about autistic people, but it is unusual to have one from the perspective of the autistic child. Florida's rare intelligence and willingness to be self-critical can open up a way of thinking to people in a way that has not been done before.
