Slightly more than a decade later, he was bound for England, selected to attend one of the world's premier universities. Here, through a series of personal conversations with Winik, he makes a compelling case for logical empathy based on rational thought, asks why we tolerate friends who see us as a means to an end, and explains why he believes personality is a choice. And he discusses how, after many hardships, he maintains a deep, abiding faith in his Creator. -- adapted from jacket 600 10 $a Fleming, Jory $x Mental health. $0 (DLC)n 2020036774 650 0 $a Autism. $0 (DLC)sh 85010038 650 0 $a Autistic people $v Biography $z United States. $0 (DLC)sh2009116056 650 0 $a College students $z United States $v Biography. $0 (DLC)sh 89003052 650 0 $a Autistic people $x Social aspects. $0 (DLC)sh2009007849 650 0 $a Autistic people $v Life skills guides. $0 (DLC)sh2009007849 650 1 $a Autism. $0 (DLC)sj2021051529 650 7 $a MEDICAL / Internal Medicine. $2 bisacsh $0 (local)tlcaut1691948111900993299 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Winik, Lyric Wallwork, $d 1966- $e author. $0 (DLC)n 96114871 941 $a 1 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611023556.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B9DAA50427B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
