Aquamarine Blue 5 — (2002)
Personal Stories of College Students with Autism
By Dawn Prince-Hughes
Rated Outstanding by the American Association of School Libraries
“This is the first book to be written by autistic college students who have been diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome or with High Functioning Autism. It demonstrates their unique way of looking at and solving problems and the challenges they face. Aquamarine Blue 5 details the struggles of these highly sensitive students and shows that there are gifts specific to autistic students that enrich the university system, scholarship, and the world as a whole. "Her unusual approach to understanding human behavior leads to powerfully clear analysis of the problems faced by people with Autism.”
ForeWord
“These essays… exhibit a level of awareness, effective writing, and sophisticated understanding of the world they must cope with that are usually thought beyond the capabilities of even the highest-functioning people with autism.”
