Born with autism, both Temple Grandin and Sean Barron now live famously successful social lives. However, their paths were quite different. Temple's logical mind controlled her social behavior. She interacted with many adults and other children, experiencing varied social situations. Logic informed her decision to obey social rules and avoid unpleasant consequences. Sean's emotions controlled his social behavior. Baffled by social rules, isolated and friendless, he made up his own and applied them to others. When they inevitably broke his rules, he felt worthless and unloved. Both Temple and Sean ultimately came to terms with the social world and found their places in it. Whether you are a person with autism, a caregiver in the autism community, or just someone interested in an outsider view of society, their powerful stories will enthrall and enlighten you. The first edition of Unwritten Rules of Social Engagement was the Silver Award Winner of the Book of the Year Awards and the original edition sold more than 40,000 copies in hard cover!

„Jsou zvířata nepřetržitě mentálně aktivní jako lidé, nebo tu jen tak chodí kolem s prázdnou myslí?“ ptají se autorky knihy. Jak se liší „běžní lidé“ od autistů? Jak pracují čelní laloky běžného člověka, jak tyto laloky fungují u autistů a jak u zvířat? Proč autističtí savanti naprosto přirozeně vykonávají věci, které jsou pro „normální“ lidi nemyslitelné? Jak se ptákovi jménem ořešník americký daří zapamatovat si, kam schoval tisíce piniových oříšků? Proč jeden jihoamerický papoušek ara říká pamlsku „sušekr“, proč krávu děsí odlesky na kalužích, proč diváci basketbalu nevidí ženu v gorilí masce, která se vmísila mezi hráče, a inspektor v masokombinátu nezpozoruje živé zvíře na háku na jateční lince? Proč kočky honí tečku laserového ukazovátka a psi sviště a proč je pro autistu často horší vydržet strach než bolest? A především, co všechno dlužíme lidem s jiným typem mysli a zvířatům? Temple Grandinová a Catherine Johnsonová napsaly moderní „Už vím proč“ pro dospělé čtenáře, které spojuje poznatky z mnoha různých vědních oborů a vybízí „běžné“ přemýšlivé lidi, aby se pokoušeli vymanit „ze zajetí abstrakce“.
