Negative Positive
Title: Overly Simplistic, Excessively Judgmental
Review: I bought this book early in my quest to understand aspergers and am glad it did not put me off from exploring further. This book is written by a non-specialist, re-hashes some very basic information, but presents it in a way that is terribly off-putting.As an example, the author listens thnigs persons with aspergers have trouble with and includes: "thinking". I do not jest! This is simply ignorant of the nuance and complexity of this disorder. While there are certainly certain kinds of thinking problems, what is interesting about aspergers is their specificity and their nature. This sort of a book severely undersells the rich profile of persons with aspergers. I give it the lowest rating I may, and strongly discourage its purchase.
Is the review positive or negative?
