Explanation Concering Books Mindblind

Fourteen-year-old Nathaniel Clark lives in two worlds—the outside world of his family and friends and his own, special, inside Aspie world, where he’s not forced to interact with people or worry about wearing his clothes right-side out. The world where he can solve mathematical problems that elude even the brightest graduate students. The world where he feels he can find his own inner truth. People say he’s a genius, but Nathaniel thinks differently. According to a book he once read, a true genius uses his talent to make a contribution to the world. Nathaniel takes the definition literally, and begins his quest for genius status. "I will start, right after I wash the chocolate off my face. If I want to be seen as a genius, I should not look like an idiot." Nathaniel has a sky-high IQ and perfect SAT scores, but Jennifer Roy and her husband, Greg, have a remarkable 8-year-old son, Adam, who not only inspired the character of Nathaniel Clark, but also created the "Amazing Race" charts and the narrative at the back of MindBlind.

Do you know what Andy Warhol, Albert Einstein, Jane Austen, Isaac Newton, Charles Schultz, Marie Curie, Thomas Jefferson, and Temple Grandin (she's a contemporary engineer) have in common? If you said Asperger's, then you were correct. All of these famous people are thought to have had this syndrome, which is characterized by a subset of behaviors, anxieties and drives which accompany extreme intelligence and talent, especially for thinking outside the box. "Mindblind" is a fictional novel

Loved this book. Having Asperger's myself, I could relate to everything Nathanial went through. The desire to be a genius, the taking metaphors and expressions seriously, obsession with various things, excelling in certain places but failing in others (he is super adept in math, I in English and Art), echoing other peoples' words, and mental shutdowns when someone [inadvertantly] threatens to move things around, or touch their things, or meddle with it in any way (I once almost had -what I think

For Nathaniel, a 14-year-old with Asperger's Syndrome, life can be confusing, like when he's trying to figure out how he feels about his friend Jessa or when he's dealing with his dad (who does NOT understand about Asperger's). But there are lot of things Nathaniel's good at, like playing the keyboards in the band he's formed with his friends and complex mathematic computations. When Nathaniel is turned down from a prestigious school for geniuses, he begins to wonder how he can make his mark on

Mindblind was beyond my expectations of any book with a genius. I expected Mindblind to be similar to Artemis Fowl, minus the fairies and Butler, but it was not. Ms. Jennifer Roy managed to make Mindblind similar, yet completely different from the Artemis Fowl series. The similarities are quite obvious. Nathaniel and Artemis are obnoxious know-it-all brats who are trying to find their own place in the world. Well, Nathaniel is and Artemis has already somewhat found his own place. Nathaniel is

Personally, I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick but realistic and entertaining read, and includes information that is both interesting and important.The main character, Nathaniel Clark, gives the reader a close-up view of Asperger's and how it affects both the person who has it and those around them. The memory shots show how neatly organized Nathaniel's brain is, and his social interaction cards/lessons show how hard it is for him to socialize. The many examples of Asperger's did, in my

As someone with experience in Aspergers Syndrome/Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) I greatly appreciate this book for raising awareness and understanding for the condition. It is an entertaining book with a reasonable resolution. The plot of this novel was quite realistic and was set in the present, allowing the general population to bond with and understand the main characters. This thankfully extended the audience so that more people may learn about and gain awareness of Aspergers Syndrome and
