Summary Annotation The title comes from one of the contributor's experiences: she perceives numbers in color, and one of her favorites is the number "5," which she sees as aquamarine. Editor Prince-Hughes (anthropology, Western Washington U.) is herself a person with Asperger's Syndrome, (also termed high-functioning autism), which is a diagnosis being applied more frequently these days, to the relief of people plagued with its problems for years without explanation. Twelve individuals share their experiences. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
