To understand the ways people with autism think, Peter Vermeulen argues, we need to try to get inside their world. The latest scientific thinking is clearly explained, and illustrated by numerous personal accounts. This introductory book offers the reader a real window into the autistic mind and the very individual way in which it processes information.

Honest and accessible, this book will be invaluable to anyone involved in the care of an autistic child.

Industry Reviews

'We have no idea what it is to see the world through the eyes of autism...We offend the logic of the autistic mind, we confuse with indirect and non-literal language, we exasperate with our unpredictability and our social obsessions. Translation is vital and Peter Vermeulan makes a great contribution towards that increased understanding with this small book. Anyone who reads it, and reads between the lines of the many wonderful anecdotes and examples, must surely be left with a greater respect for the autistic view of the world, and a sense of the value (as well as the challenge) of these very special minds.' - From the Introduction by Francesca Happe 'This is a book that anyone who is even in the slightest measure involved in the lives of individuals with autism must keep on the shelves of his home library.' - Ina van Bercklaer-Onnes, Professor, Leiden University 'This is an extremely practical book, very useful to all who have to deal directly with the problem of autism.' - Eddy Daniels, Intermediair
