a book callled, I think;

'The Dog That Barked In The Night'

or something similar. I've tried to google it with no luck.

I believe it's crime fiction, written fromthe perspective of someone with AS.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

That is an outstanding book and the ONLY book I brought with me when I moved to OR from NC. I love that book!

It's written by a special ed teacher who works with kids with asperger's. He really captures the experience well.

I intend to get my hands on a copy of that book sometime in the near future. As a writer myself who only recently discovered that my perspective on the world may be influenced by AS, I'm very curious to see what I might learn from what this book portrays.
