Reprint. 100,000 first printing. AnnotationIn this first-person account of a life lived with autism, Daniel Tammet shares how he sees the world and how, after a life of struggle, he is able to function in it. Daniel's account of his daily trials, compulsions, and coping habits offer a window into the world he shares with other autistics. An autistic with Asperger's syndrome, he has the stunning ability to learn new things, such as languages (he knows 10), and, because he has what the specialists call synaesthesia, he remembers and manipulates huge amounts of information through shapes, colors, and patterns. His heartbreaking memories of a childhood filled with tantrums and solitude, and his inspiring conversion to Christianity (and its role in stabilizing him), make BORN ON A BLUE DAY the story of an examined life worth living--one told, most importantly, in his own words.
