If you have ever wondered what autism is like from the autistic person's point of view, this book is for you. Written in first person, Lou Arrendale has a job in futuristic America that utilizes his autism. He works with other people that have varying degrees of autism. The company they work for develops a "cure" and wants the autisic ones to volunteer to be guinea pigs. But Lou is afraid that by no longer being autistic, he won't be Lou. Very interesing tale. Even a non-fan of science fiction will enjoy this book.
