I Am Intelligent: From Heartbreak to Healing--A Mother and Daughter's Journey Through Autism by Dianne Goddard, Peyton Goddard

4.0

This was really interesting in that the broader story was structured like a parental account but it was peppered with Peyton's own words and observations and experiences. So you had the mother's quest to cure her daughter and integrate her into the community counterpointed with what it was actually like for Peyton. This is a great alternative to the typical structure of relegating the autist's account to an essay or Q&A at the back of the book, as in News From the Border or Reasonable People.
