What a rich and well structured and thought out book. An absolute must read for anyone working, living with or even knowing so called "neuro-atypical" people - i.e everyone. It gets under your skin helping to see things from the other side and doesn't shy from asking tough questions on what is normal, what is typical, what is acceptable and most importantly, what is ethical and desirable.
