A recent article talks about two recent books about Autism that are written by parents who have autistic children. One book reveals interesting information about how autism used to be perceived as other psychiatric conditions and how other cultures look at autism. The second book is a closer look at children with autism and how they interact with the world in their own way.
The books are:
Unstrange Minds: Remapping the World of Autism by Roy Richard Grinker
Strange Son: Two Mothers, Two Sons, and the Quest to Unlock The Hidden World of Autism by Portia Iverson
Both are worth checking out.

Thanks for posting these recommendations during Autism Awareness Month. I've read the first one and read several reviews on the second [on my wish list to eventually be added to the staggering pile on my nightstand]!
Best wishes
