本書認為，人的一生貌似一場假裝熱情的漫長跋涉，雖然現在的生活很艱難，但也應該努力真實地生活。作者希望每一個自閉症患者都能感受到巨大的解脫，通過認清自己和摘下面具，向世界展示真實的、內心殘疾的自己，建立屬￿自己的人際關係、發現自己的獨特價值、培養特殊的興趣，以便獲得足夠的安全感和歸屬感，繪製出自己真實且珍貴的人生藍圖。為此，作者認為，自閉症患者首先要培養自信心和自我同情心，從而達到自我接納的新高度。同時，本書還概述了蒙面自閉症患者可以採取的策略，描述了易於接受神經多樣性的世界可能的樣子，倡導我們應該重塑對自閉症的刻板印象，建立一種包容的文化氛圍。

This book, first published by Cambridge University Press in 1955, investigates the origins of The Equatorie of the Planetis, a fourteenth-century manuscript in the library of Peterhouse, Cambridge. Dr Price, a historian of science, examines the idea that it was composed and written by Geoffrey Chaucer. The chapters discuss the problems of ascription, bibliography and palaeography as well as giving an account of the theories and history of medieval astronomy and the Equatorie instrument. This edition reproduces, translates and describes the complete manuscript and uses various photographic techniques to examine erased words and analyse Chaucer's signature on the document. There are facsimiles of pages from the astronomical tables together with an analysis of their contents, and a selection of extracts from other unpublished Middle English astronomical texts are included in the appendices. A glossary is provided by R. M. Wilson.
