Different Like Me: My Book of Autism Heroes by Jennifer Elder and Marc Thomas.

This book is filled with inspirational and historical stories about people with autism who conquered their differences and achieved great accomplishments in the fields of science, art, math, literature, philosophy and comedy.  This book discusses many people who have excelled in a variety of different fields, yet still at times found it difficult to fit-in, just like the eight-year-old narrator, Quinn.
