Synopsis
In this first-person account of a life lived in autism, Daniel Tammet shares how he sees the world and how, after a life of struggle and effort, he is able to function in it. Daniel's account of the daily trials, compulsions, and coping habits offer a window into the world he shares with other autistics. An autistic with Asperger's syndrome, he has the stunning ability to learn new things, such as languages (he knows ten), and, because he has what the specialists call synaesthesia, he remembers and manipulates huge amounts of information through shapes, colors, and patterns. His heartbreaking memories of a childhood filled with tantrums and solitude, and his inspiring conversion to Christianity (and its role in stabilizing him) make BORN ON A BLUE DAY the story of an examined life worth living--one told, importantly, in his own words.

Publisher's Note
Traces the inspiring story of an autistic savant with genius-level mathematical talents, describing how he was eschewed by his classmates in spite of his near-photographic memory and super-human capacity for math and language, in a firsthand account that offers insight into how he experiences the world. 75,000 first printing.

Industry Reviews
"[Tammet's] ability to express himself clearly and with a surprisingly engaging tone (given his symptoms) makes for an account that will intrigue others as well."
