Ending of Born On A Blue Day by Daniel Tammet

I really enjoyed the novel Born On a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet. In the book Daniel was a boy who had many talents when it came to schoolwork such as, math and many other subjects. He is a very smart man who goes through many things in his life other than dealing with his autism. Daniel ends up discovering many things. He discovers his sexuality, that he is gay. Also he meets people throughout the book and tries to achieve his goals. Also he meets a guy named Neil who he has a very tight bond with, and they can relate to eachother. Over all the novel was very interesting and a very positive look on how people with autism deal with it in different ways.
