Having an autistic brother as well, I was not really happy with the line Cole dropped. I know it was a meaningless punch line and he's not out to offend mentally handicapped people, but he didn't even get the line right. People with autism aren't even considered mentally retarded, it is a social disorder. While technically some kids with autism are considered "mentally retarded" they are smarter than you think, there is just a disconnect in communication. There is a good book written by a kid who has autism and was completely non-verbal when he was growing up. He explained how it annoyed him so much that people blatantly talked to him like he had the mind of a baby. It's a really good read.
The Reason I Jump is a pretty good light-reading primer on the how's and why's of a boy with autism. Plenty of eye-opening information, particularly about how he describes his behaviors and his cognitive process.
Ido in Autismland is another favorite of mine. More in-depth and slightly longer winded, it's a book rich in information, but definitely the one I'd read second.
The market is saturated with plenty of books on autism written by psycological or disabilities professionals, but if you really want to understand, I find there's no substitute for a book written by an autistic author.
I just finished reading "Ido in Autismland," a book written by a non-verbal autistic teenager.
His insights into what it is like to be autistic and the way well meaning people treat autistic kids are invaluable and should be required reading for anyone working with autistic kids.
