Negative Positive
Title: Not practical
Review: Both the teacher (emotionally demanding) and the parent (materialistic and shallow) are presened in a very bad light. While the book is fiction, the resolutions (without giving any portion of the book away) are not in any way practical to the very real challenges of raising a child with special needs. While AS does have it's challenges, it should simply be presented as a "different way of being", so that the child with AS may prepare him/herself for life in an appropriate and practical way, to the best of his/her ability, and not to rely on the chance solutions presented in this book.
