Negative Positive
Title: Poor
Review: I understand how some AS children would relate; however mine did not. She was horrified at the thought of being viewed as "not normal". Also the way the father treated his son before the diagnosis and after was, quite frankly, nystifying to me. My daughter has many of the same quirks that Ben has (hand flapping, obseesions, etc) I would never and never have put her down or got angry over those quirks.The doctor tells the Dad that Asperger's is a "problem in the brain." I have always described it as a different way of thinking. At this point I wasn't reading this book to my daughter. I can not fathom how she would react to being told she has a problem in her brain.Once again, some children obviously felt connected to the story. We had the opposite experience.
Is the review positive or negative?
