Summary: autism from tragedy to triumph
Comment: I found this book to be uplifting and encouraging.
Rating: 1
Summary: Wooden and unconvincing
Comment: If you are not a devoted fan of Ivar Lovaas and his method of treating autism, this book is unlikely to convert you into one.
As well as being melodramatic and poorly written, it is extremely sketchy, giving very few details about what actually went on in therapy sessions. The rather implausible impression it leaves is that the therapists stopped her son Drew from "stimming", gave him a few lessons, and as a result he somehow became completely normal in a matter of months.
I also have to say that Drew's own epilogue, written while he was at university, is distinctly reminiscent of accounts by other university students with high-functioning autism/Asperger's syndrome that I know of.
Rating: 2
Summary: Very badly written, but treatment descript. is interesting
Comment: Is there a reward for counting the number of cigarettes lit throughout this book? :) It is so terribly written that I cringed reading it, but the description of the lovaas treatment made it worth it.
