Google Preview: Edgar Schneider was diagnosed as a high-functioning autistic in 1995. Formerly a mathematician and computer programmer, he is now married and continues to write and to develop his interest in the arts. He lives in Florida.; The determining time period; aftermath; resolution, of a sort; suspicions; a revelation; recap of a terrible period of time; correlating my past life; an interesting aside; nuncene amat, vel umquamme amavit; a missing faculty; two perilous charateristcs; can ''heartless'' pity be real?; grief; solitude; learning; values manifested during military service; interactions with others; art as an early outlet; religion; a perhaps dangerous characteristic; the upshot of this self-discovery; forsan alias amabit; the emotional deficit; auto-compensating?; retrospect; what I have tried to do here.; The exceptional value of this book is not only that it offers an in-depth insight into autism through a first-hand testimony of someone who has been living with it but also in what it may lead us to discover. Hence it is highly recommendable to parents of autistic children, who may find some explanation as to why their children behave the way they do. It should be read by autistic individuals, who may see themselves in it, which will raise their awareness of who they are. It should also be read by clinicians and students of human communication and its disorders, because it will broaden their understanding of what their patients feel and experience, but may not always be able to talk about, and certainly researchers in the field will find it an excellent resource of challenge to the various theories of autism, the question of where the boundaries of the autistic spectrum are, the problems of generalizability, opening further paths as to how to approach and judge the writings of such highly able and intelligent individuals and how to define and specify the complex notion of ""autism"".; Google Preview content
