I have mixed feelings about this one, and I think that's worth saying. I found parts academic and theoretical, and the tone sometimes felt angrier than I found helpful. I also disagreed with the advice about keeping a child's diagnosis private. I would probably give this to a parent a few years into their journey. But it made me look hard at my own parenting. Reading it during a family trip, I noticed how much we were policing my autistic son's behavior to fit expectations. There is a real tension between helping our kids build skills for the world they live in and accepting and encouraging who they are. There isn't a way to nail that perfectly. I appreciated the discussion of working memory and the chapter on bullying, which helped me think about how bullying can look different for neurodivergent kids. This is a book I would read with room to question it, while letting it question me, too.
