I think I would have appreciated this book more if I had shared the author's interest and talent for classical music.
There were informative parts about the history of autism diagnosis and treatment, which piqued my interest.
However, the author seems oblivious to the fact that his family's and his own problems were improved by the fact that they are above-average in terms of financial privilege. He kept referring to them as "normal" in that respect, and did not understand how wealth contributed to his unique experiences.
