You find out what happened to the main character's teacher, but not what happens to the main character, his brother or his mother. I am presuming this was an intentional ploy by the author, somewhat akin to the ending of the HBO series, The Sopranos - each reader can come to their own conclusions, but I prefer to have an answer! up until then, it was a very good book that was informative as well. I had no idea what Asperger's Syndrome involved before reading this book and I have a good deal of sympathy for everyone involved. None of them asked for what was happening in their lives.
