Title: Send in the Idiots: Stories from the Other Side of Autism
Author: Kamran Nazeer
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Year: 2006
Genre: autism, memoir
230 pages
An interesting and enjoyable memoir from an author with high functioning autism (he does not call it Asperger's, and since he had language delays Kanner's autism seems more accurate). Nazeer interviewed two of his former classmates from a school for autistic children, the parents of another, and two of their teachers. In addition to the poignancy of the narrative, Nazeer's speculative digressions are an interesting demonstration of the organization of autistic thought.
