A really good book that my mom suggested for me

Born On a Blue Day

I recently read the book, Born On A Blue Day, by Daniel Tammet, which is about a man who has Asperger’s Syndrome, like myself. It talks about his life growing up as well as his adulthood, mostly in regards to how he copes with being autistic. It was very interesting to me about how Daniel lived his life and how he now manages himself independently. It gives me a lot of hope for my own future. I was especially fascinated by the part where he talked about how he was really good at learning languages; I myself am really involved in learning languages.

Another thing in the book that really captivated me was how he was really good at expressing his ideas, which is something unusual for a lot of people with autism. This gives me more optimism for career prospects as I want to become a writer when I grow up. I also found several characteristics about Daniel that I could relate to, such as how he is sensitive to sounds and being touched. He also thinks literally and is puzzled when he hears someone use figurative speech; he does things that he doesn’t realize are not socially appropriate. Fortunately, he has found ways to cope. I myself am also trying to find ways to cope. This book for me is not just a story, it’s an inspiration.
