Jynxx 4 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Movies never come close to books. Really for me it's just special effects these days... The golden compass The subtle knife The amber spyglass ... Trilogy by Pullman Loved these. Some books underlining ideas have that feel of coming from collective subconsciousness and these are books written by someone who thinks.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'll have to get that. It was a bit scary in the same way that Doctor Who was really scary for kids. (So, not really very scary at all then). Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Just started Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet and its his life story of living with Asperger's. The way it reads is quite unique, but since this is the way he sees/lives his life, I am not sure how he does it. Maybe it will be easier to understand/get used to after getting into it more...blue nine's and red words...how trippy his world must be. Link to post Share on other sites

Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome and another one called Kids in the Syndrome Mix. All this talk about "Asupera" in Japan got me wondering what is it? How do we deal with kids who have it? And, from what I have read so far, the kids in my school havent been diagnosed properly I love how Japan has an "umbrella" word and then that gets used for everything...
