However. Most of the story points are based on what seems to me to be a pretty ableist idea, that it's possible to "cure" autism. I'm not autistic, but I've listened and spoken to enough folks on the spectrum to know that it's not possible and not needed. Often, these treatments are harmful to autistic people. The only voices in the novel pointing this out are the protesters, who are pretty much always portrayed in a more villainous role.
I don't know. With that being so central to the plot, I'm uncomfortable giving it a high rating or recommending it.

I’ve never read a legal thriller and this book opened me up into a world of books I thought I’d never read!
Highly recommend.
