little chickadee Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I've just re-read this and found it fascinating from the point of view of a mother whose boy is being assessed for Autism at the moment. My boy is much much more "normal" than Christopher but it was fascinating just the same. It would be interesting to hear from an Autistic Adult/ teenager how realistic they found the descriptions as Mark Haddon is not on the Autistic Spectrum himself. Not much more insight than that at the mo as my brain isn't feeling up to it! But highly recomend people read it - it's not long and may make you think. Update - We've just had the Autism diagnosis of High Functioning Autism/ Aspergers for my little boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
