Meh. 
 I get what the author was going for but it's not a particularly great book. 
 (view spoiler)[So if you have a disability, do you fix the disability? If you're deaf, you end up undeaf. The community suffers losing the heartbreak of losing you, and the community dissolves if it's fixed at birth. It's mentioned in passing in this longwinded thought experiment about "what if we could fix autism", which is kind of a non-starter since severe autists are more like a herd of cats than a connected community. 
 The book tries to make the case both for and against medical intervention. It's a muddled mess that covers the same ground as the real-life "Switched On" by John Elder Robison. Its protagonist is a fussy, sensory-challenged, savant kind of guy who suffers resentment from an economically depressed world where ADA accommodations allow him to have a private car, bouncy trampolines, and fidget toys at work. Or something like that. 
 After going through some Marty Stu scenarios where all his good friends have to defend him from people who irrationally hate him, he decides to take "the cure", which turns him into an entirely new person who dumps his old friends and allows him to become a successful human with no connection to his past. In other words, he commits suicides, gets reincarnated as an ass. (hide spoiler)] 
 It's all very dramatic and extremely dull at the same time. Flowers for Algernon, this is not. I really didn't like it but there's enough meat for thought to raise it from a one star "didn't like" to a Goodreads two star "it was okay". 
 I'll probably regret the extra star fairly quickly.
