3.0
I loved the plot of this book, the cobots, the mystery around Abbie's disappearance, the intricacies of her relationship with Tim. That being said, the stuff about autism did seem, at times, rather archaic. Towards the end it seemed to show the polar opposites between Abbie and Tim and how they wanted to help Danny. Somethings, however, just felt a little off with it at times. I am aware that autism is a spectrum and some autistic people or kids with CDD will have similar experiences to Danny but to say, to generalise that, Autistic people are unable to love or be empathic seems a stretch.

Immediately no. This book is so dehumanizing of autistic people, highly recommend sifting through goodreads to get to some own voices reviews.
