Not a whole lot of "Aspies" survive in the workplace despite their intelligence and unique sensibilities. Wendell is symbolic of the bullying and exploitation that those who hold jobs in organizations typically experience. It would be nice to think that Marcelo in the Real World (and I'd have to add Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which I think is equally strong though in a different way) will encourage others to create the space that Aspies need to reach their potential.Lyn Miller-Lachmannhttp://web.mac.com/lynmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-52154100119956583862009-09-30T23:19:31.755-05:002009-09-30T23:19:31.755-05:00Great review Honey!
