Years ago there was a book about a child (boy, I think) who was, I believe, autistic. But it wasn’t really much known about then and they didn’t recognize what was the problem. The book talks about how they began to communicate and determine what was wrong. I can’t remember the name, but I remember reading it in the mid-seventies, and it seems to me that it was populer then. S is interested in psychology and we were discussing autism at dinner. Thought he might find the book interesting.
