Synopsis
When he was four years old Kamran Nazeer was enrolled in a small school in New York alongside other children diagnosed with autism. Here they received care that was at the cutting edge of developmental psychology. Kamran is now a policy adviser in Whitehall - but what of the others? With rare perception, he tells of their lives: the speechwriter unable to make eye contact, the courier who gets upset if anyone touches his bicycle, the suicidal depressive, and the computer engineer who communicates difficult emotions through the use of hand puppets.

Review
`An invaluable addition to the literature of autism'
-- Spectator
`Extraordinary ... a moving account of five very different lives
united by the experience of growing up with autism' -- Image
`It is through Nazeer's frank portrayal of these lives that we
come to understand a little better what it is to live with autism' -- Daily Express
`One gets the sense from Nazeer's hopeful and honest book that he
has little patience for the clichés of autism' -- Observer
`This remarkable piece of true-life storytelling takes as its
theme not disability, but humanity' -- Independent
