Her father wants her to have an operation that will cure her autism, but perhaps at the expense of her special talents. Her mother wants her to continue with more traditional therapies. But what does Hannah herself want? And how does she experience the world? Highly, highly recommended. Available at Amazon & Smashwords.

Sounds like Elizabeth Moon's Speed of Dark, although her protagonist is an autistic young man, and the story is set in the near future. According to Wikipedia, "it won the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 2003, and was also an Arthur C. Clarke Award finalist."
