"There is no black and white dividing line between geeks, nerds, and the quirky, and mild autism or Asperger'sA few autistic traits can provide advantages-too many, a handicap. Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, and many famous musicians, if they were born today, might well receive an "autism" label in today's school system. Some kids are just quirky, and Eight Keys to Raising a Quirky Child will help those children succeed." -- Temple Grandin, author of The Autistic Brain and Thinking in Pictures
