Unstrange Minds Selected as Library Journal Best Books, 2007  (will appear in LJ December issue):


Anthropologist Grinker’s affecting investigation communicates a much-needed truth: autism is both a disease (biological) and an illness, i.e., a life-altering experience completely at odds with society. Hope then comes like a bullet via vignettes of parents from America to Korea who’ve adapted to their children’s “unstrange” worldviews. (LJ 1/07)
