Books like Teaching Myself to See by Tito Mukhopadhyay


Teaching Myself to See is a deeply personal and introspective journey by autistic author Tito Mukhopadhyay. The book explores Tito's struggles to participate in the world of visual details, as a person with autism who processes information through hyper-visual processing. Tito's experiences are documented through various forms of media, including art, magazines, and everyday life, as he learns to see the world in a way that might seem bewildering to doctors and psychologists. This work of auto-anthropology captures the complexity of sight and the vast differences between neuro-typicals and neuro-atypicals.
