An Outsider's Guide to Humans

This brilliant book from a young scientist with Asperger's syndrome offers the reader a fascinating perspective on humans, their social rituals, and the ways they go about their lives. At age 8, author Camilla Pang asked her mother if there was an instruction manual for being human, and upon realizing there wasn't one available, began crafting her own. Using the language of science and the many metaphors it offers for understanding our everyday behavior, Pang has created a fascinating examination of the contemporary human condition and shows the reader new ways of conceiving of their own challenges through her unique insights. A beautiful book to share with the loved one in your life with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or with anyone looking for a manual for understanding their place and role in the world.
