Negative Positive
Title: A minority opinion
Review: After the many glowing reviews of this book, I was ready to love it. But I just couldn't. What really bothered me was I felt Daniel made totally unrealistic advances in a short period of time. In real life, language acquisition in non-verbal autistic kids is a slow process. My son was diagnosed over 5 years ago, and I still remember the pain the diagnosis brought, so I could relate to Melanie. The disorder is not as easily improved as is shown here.
Is the review positive or negative?
