 Not
Even Wrong -
Portland writer Paul Collins memoir
is about the journey of himself, his wife and his young son with
autism. "The
Oregonian's reviewer, thought it
"combines a haunting memoir of his son's isolation with a journey to
the world of other outsiders - those in history and popular culture,
from Peter the Wild Boy in 18th-century England to Bill Gates . . .
With tenderness and grace (if not always logic), Collins juxtaposes
his own learning of his son's disorder -- and unique gifts -- with
tales of curious geniuses."
