(More customer reviews)I found that MindBlind was a very interesting insight into the mind of a gifted person with Asperger's. Whether it's trying to solve a vastly complex math formula, or doing a report in Mandarin Chinese, Nathaniel is one very smart person. Granted the Asperger's makes him struggle in some situations, but Nathaniel has learned to adapt himself to whatever situation faced him.
It seemed like that Nathaniel was put into even more of a tough situation with the parents being divorced. To me, the dad didn't seem to care that much about Nathaniel's condition and cared more about himself. I was very afraid for Nathaniel when he got put into that party situation with pot and alcohol. Thankfully, Nathaniel's friends managed to get him out of the bad situation, and tell his dad about it. Thankfully, Nathaniel had a mom who cared about him and understood the challenge in dealing with such a condition. She definitely wanted him to succeed in whatever he did.
To have the bad situation turn into something good was remarkable when his release from the anger of the party made Nathaniel think about math and science songs, and to have the songs tie into the Bat Mitzvah with his band friends sort of put a wrap into the book, including him getting accepted into MIT.
I'm glad that Jennifer has become a successful writer along with her twin Julia DeVillers. They seem to have a great passon for writing children's books and are able to share their musings to thousands of young people. I was glad that Jennifer used her own personal insight into Asperger's into writing a book that can help people young and old how not only one deals with Asperger's, but others around them.
