great fictional book!

I just finished reading House Rules by Jodi Picoult.  SJ's teacher was reading it and suggested it to me.  I have read a few of Jodi Picoult's books and I am a fan.  This book has a main character named Jacob, who is diagnosed with Aspergers.  His social skills tutor dies and he is considered a suspect in her death.  What I found so interesting about the book was his relationship with his mother and typical brother.  The mother was similar to me in many ways.  She went out of her way to find therapies, diets, schools, etc. to help her son.  Although SJ is not "typical", I try so hard to integrate him in the typical world.  The brother was similar to Bob in many ways too.  Bob can get very frustrated with SJ's "quirks".  He doesn't know why SJ gets so mad when he loses, as he says "acts like a 2 year old".  He doesn't understand why he echoes so much dialogue from favorite shows or books.  I really felt for this fictional family and especially Jacob.  I know SJ is different than him, but Jacob was trying his best to fit into the typical world.  I believe that is something that SJ struggles with everyday too.
