“Coping with autism requires accommodations in our world. Because reading a book depends on the visual system, we have made accommodations to avoid visual overload. These include the size of the book (6” by 9”) which decreases the length of each line; the cover, both color choice and design; and the font, which is easier to read, as it has been explained to us, because of its rounded corners rather than angles.”

S. McClennen and G. Gillingham (editors), Sharing Our Wisdom: A Collection of Presentations by People within the Autism Spectrum

So at least in a small way they are vindicating my liking for Comic Sans (which the entire book is printed in, which does increase the readability for me at least).  I know it’s trendy to hate Comic Sans but since when have I ever been trendy?

This book is just, on a physical level, much easier for me to read than most books.  Can’t speak for anyone else, but I really like the way this book is set up.
