Very difficult to read due to typesetting issues
Sadly, and quite unrelated to the topic of the book, I found the book almost unreadable due to text formatting issues. The text alternates - for no particular good reason - between four different fonts, most of them with weird variable spacing that changes dramatically between every line. There are half a dozen different header formats, used in a consistently inconsistent manner. Bit of an example of the school essay rule of "don't mess around with formatting unless you know what you're doing". Someone at the publishing house ought to have assisted the author with this.

I was thrilled to receive this book. So far I have read the first few chapters and it has got my attention from the word go. It is well written and easily understandable for those of us who don't have autism or asberger syndrome, and we should appreciate what these parents and their children go through. Well done to the Author.

Really informative
I could relate so much to the experiences shared in this book from childhood, as a teenager and adult. Very interesting as a newly-diagnosed aspie.
