The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

I have just finished reading this book, it's about a 15 years old Asperger kid tries to solve the murder of his neighbour's dog.

Anyone has read this book? If I am a parent of a normal kid, I would find this book funny and interesting. But being a parent with an Asperger kid, I feel sad reading it..................

Pamam,

我都有看過這本書, 我看的是中文版。 一方面可能是個數學天才, 但另一方面對四周的人和事就..........
尤其是他對父親的誤解及某些事的固執, 我們閱讀到這些情節真的不好受。 不過每個亞氏保加症的小朋友能力和性格都是獨特的, 在我們眼中他們每一個也是special talented child呢!

另外有一本由一位10歲AS小朋友自己寫的書, 也值得一看!
書名是:
Asperger's Sydrome, The Universe and Everything:
Kenneth's Book (台灣中文版書名: 星星小王子 久周文化)

作者是個積極樂觀而又接立自己是AS的小朋友, 他對事物的看法, 對大自然的愛惜連成年人也自愧不如呢!

我也看過這書, 主角的推理邏輯幾得意. 在amazon.com的讀者書評中, 有讀者卻指出真正的自閉症小朋友不是這樣的.

Each autistic kids are different, my son is very affectionate and likes hugs and kisses a lot, that's why I always find it hard to consider my son as Asperger(since Asperger is classified  in the  Autism spectrum).

I hope people will read this book, it may not depicts Autism 100% correctly but at least it is educational in a way, it showed normal people that Autistic people just don't think and read things like normal people, more understanding hopefully would mean more tolerant to people with special needs.
