Omschrijving
A fascinating and touching memoir from real-life Rain Man, Daniel Tammet, who has the extremely rare condition Savant Syndrome
'A memoir of outstanding lucidity and charm'
'You close BORN ON A BLUE DAY with a sense of profound admiration'
'A charmingly precise, tenderly honest account'
'Remarkable'
'Admirably modest but affecting autobiography by a man blessed with incredible mental gifts but struggling with Asperger's'
'So elegantly written... he tells his story dead straight'
'In BORN ON A BLUE DAY, both his difficulties and his awakening consciousness of himself and others are charted. The miracle is that he wrote it himself. It has a strange, quiet beauty'
'Tammet's writing is eloquent and moving but always uncomplicated. And he succeeds in stripping away much of the misunderstanding and confusion that surrounds the unusual way autistic savants view the world'
Daniel Tammet has been working with scientists to understand the implications of his condition for neuroscience and our understanding of consciousness. He also runs a web-based diagnostic site for people with autism and lives in Kent with his partner.
