Publisher Description
When you think about the people who changed our world, what do you think? Maybe they were superhuman who were disconnected from the rest of us. Maybe they were instead so in touch with us that they knew what we all needed before even we as a society even knew. Maybe they were in fact just ordinary people.
This is what this book explores. It takes a mental condition in autism and looks at what the condition is all about, asking if anyone who did change the world were on the autistic spectrum and how they accomplished this. Explore some of the minds who changed the world we live in and understand how sometimes, autism can enable genius.

Be forewarned…
Some interesting stuff in here - how ASD influences the world through those possessing it; Einstein, Jobs, etc… but also a chapter on that “Musky” character, so… enter at your own risk.
Text too hard to read in ebook form
I tried to read this as an ebook, but the text is such a light grey it gives me a headache to read. Therefore, I stopped reading it. Hopefully the publisher might consider putting out a version with a dark grey text so people like me can read it.
