Born on a Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant Audiobook

" Having 2 children on the autism spectrum, I absolutely loved this book. Hearing similarities and differences are so neat. He is an amazing individual and I am so happy that he has flourished as he has! "

" Intersting man with incredible ability "

" not well written. the concept/life is more interesting than the book itself. "

" Interesting true story about living with autism. It was amazing to read about his extraordinary abilities and yet he had such disabilities. It was interesting to learn that his mind associated letters and numbers with colors. "

" This man is amazing, truly an inspiring story. I highly recommend this for anyone whose has a loved one affected by autism. "

" Really interesting - I have a student that is a blind savant sax player (yeah! really!) and it's fascinating to try and figure out how his mind works.... "

" Les 5 etoiles sont pour avoir eu le courage de publier un livre qui etale la vie de l'auteur sans chichis ni fioritures. C'est simple et bien ecrit. En bref, une jolie lecon. "

" Extremely interesting and great narration (Simon Vance) of a story of an autistic savant (Daniel Tammet) and how he sees the world. Uplifting, hopeful, and sometimes humorous, I would highly recommend it if you like this subject matter. "

" An amazing insight into an autistic-savants mind. You will see life in a whole new light. "

" Facinating so far... "

" One of the freaking most interesting guys alive. I cannot believe some of the things his mind is capable of. Totally an interesting book and unreal the things he has accomplished. "

" I read this book primarily because my daughter has autism. This book is good because it discusses this disorder and shows that austisic people have many abilities. I do not fully endorse this book because it is about savants and most autistic people are not savants. "

" i think this book is the greatest book i had ever read, this book changed the way i see the world not only emotionally but physically "

" I only give this four stars simply because I was never given the chance to finish it!! This book is amazing! "

" Uneven. A lot of it felt like impersonal recounting of events. Other parts were quite interesting, eg where he talks about his synesthesia, the work he had to put in to consciously acquire social skills, and meeting Kim Peek, the real-life inspiration for Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man. "

" A fascinating and illuminating account of Daniel's life. What he has achieved amazed me - things I wouldn't be brave enough to do. I have to confess to skimming over some of his detailed explanations but I have a lazy brain! "

" Tammet gives us a fascinating glimpse into the way someone's mind works when he has Asperger's syndrom. His descriptions of the way he sees numbers is especially fascinating. Some people will be put offby his description of falling in love with another man, however. "

" I was in awe and amazed at how well this young man has learned to traverse the difficulties that come with Autism and Asperger's Disease to reach heights never thought possible by others let alone himself. It is a very inspiring and insightful read. "

" This isn't a book you read for pleasure, but for understanding. If you don't know someone on the autism spectrum, this may be a hard one to enjoy. "

" Testing this function on the iPad... "

" This book made me realize a lot about Asperger's that I did not know! "

" Interesting memoir, though a little dry at times. I feel bad for Daniel because his circumstances were so difficult growing up. "

" Not sure what got me to pick this book from the shelve of our local book store! I could not stop reading it. Its very important for "normal" people to read about mental illness! And how a parent can help a child over come it and be some thing in life. "

" A very interesting autobiography of a man with Asperger's syndrome who has savant characteristics. Especially interesting how he credits his large family with socializing him. "

" Starts off quite interesting, but meanders a bit towards the end. "

" Fascinating look at how the human brain works, using insights from the author's autistic savant experience and modern science. "

" A nice look at Daniel Tammet's life and approach to knowledge and learning. "

" A great sequel to Born on A Blue Day. Forces you to look at the brain, and the world, differently. "

" So bad. So pointless. So self-indulgent. "

" non fiction. helps to understand how the mind works. he is austictic savant, very intelligent. "
