Thank you, NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for the eARC! As a mother of a child with ASD, this was definitely a helpful read. Although it was far more analytical, theoretical, and philosophical than I expected, I appreciated the deep issues revolving around different concepts in humanity.

What a fantastic book! Seeing the world through Jory's perspective was enlightening and engaging. As an educator who often works with students with autism this was a wonderful insight into how autism can change perspective and life experiences. Highly recommended!

Written in a question and answer interview style, this informative book will teach you much about how this particular person, Jory, with autism sees and interacts with the world. People who are non-Neurotypical are not all the same, but Jory gives us an in-depth look into his mind, emotions, and views from his unique perspective.
This book does not read like a story, there is no beginning, middle, and tightly tied up ending, but rather it serves to teach those who would like to learn more about autism. If that is what you were looking for, I would give this book a five, but if you were looking for more of a biographical type book, I would give it a three. That being said, I will settle on a four-star rating because this book definitely serves a purpose as an educational book on autism. I would also give a shout out to Jory, for being so patient, thorough, and articulate in trying to explain the way his mind works. He is a remarkable young man! Thank you to NetGalley for the advance read copy.
