Love Anthony
From neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author of Still Alice, a "beautifully written and poignant" (USA TODAY) novel about autism, friendship, and unconditional love.
In an insightful, deeply human story reminiscent of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Daniel Isn’t Talking, and The Reason I Jump, Lisa Genova offers a unique perspective in fiction—the extraordinary voice of Anthony, a nonverbal boy with autism.
Anthony reveals a neurologically plausible peek inside the mind of autism, why he hates pronouns, why he loves swinging and the number three, how he experiences routine, joy, and love. In this powerfully unforgettable story, Anthony teaches two women about the power of friendship and helps them to discover the universal truths that connect us all.

This book starts out feeling a little slow and wondering how the two main characters paths will eventually cross, and then it becomes apparent and you don’t want to put the book down as you read on to find out how it all comes together! It is very cleverly written and insightful into the world of autism. The research the author has done is clearly evident and I feel this is a book many people should read to understand neurodiversity. Incredibly moving at some parts and so true to real life. A must read.
