There are also some things that many of us find offensive and many things that nurotypical people just think we would find offensive but we really, most often find hilarious.
This book was an eye opener for me very glad I got it. If you are reading this please get a copy and read it. It is short, it was a labor of love for the author, and you can truly feel his desire to do good in his words. If you have someone in your life that struggles with social interaction reach out right now...you may save a life, or much more likely just make someones day much more bright.
