anion's review against another edition
I would also like to note: this is NOT a good introduction to autism. Especially if you or a family memeber just got diagnosed and want to learn about it. Some of the information is false.
You have to go into this book understanding that the mother herself also has abeliest views. She needs to be seen as a flawed character that thinks she knows everything but is wrong. The book doesnt make it obvious that her advice and commentary can be harmful, since she talks as if she's an expert.
The main character is also very sterotyped. I feel like the author just googled symptoms and decided to throw everything she could find in. As well as using outdated terms that most of the autistic community no longer supports. I dont think she talked to autistic people, it felt like her research was very clinical.
