365/14 My Bookshelf

This was suppose to be a picture of all the books on my Autism book shelf, but on closer inspection (after taking the picture with no contacts in), I discover two books not on the topic have snuck onto this shelf. How many of you would have noticed if I would have kept silent about it?
One book on this shelf has already been read more than once; it is "The Boy Who Loved Windows" Opening the heart and mind of a child threatened with Autism by Patricia Stacey. It is the best actual account (written from birth), about a child with autism that I have read. Another favorite of mine, which I sent to my daughter (who has a child on the spectrum) is George & Sam: Two Boys, One Family and Autism by Charlotte Moore.
Here's a partial list of books I read in 2008 on the subject of autism, I didn't keep track, but these are what I can remember at the moment. I read them and send the ones I think might be helpful to my daughter, who does not have time to do all the reading herself. I've had a life long interest in autism. My very first book that peaked my interest in autism was Son-Rise written by Barry Neil Kaufman, it was written in 1989. Here's the list.
