I recommend a book called "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" - Mark Haddon.
It's about an autistic/savant boy, a mathematical and scientific genius but he doesn't understand human expressions. He doesn't understand smiles and other facial gestures. He doesn't understand metaphors and things like that. It's a really interesting book.
