Some observations:
- Functioning labels. If it's important to draw this distinction (which it usually isn't) it's better to say someone who has more support needs vs someone who has fewer support needs. But your support needs can change completely from day to day or decade to decade, so it's a bit misleading even at that.
- Mix of person first and identity first language.. as well as nouning.. what's that called? Plus that awful awful phrase: ASD
- The term Asperger's has its origin in eugenics (I'm over-simplifying) and 11 years ago especially there were still echos of that in how the word Asperger's was used as opposed to Autistic, there is no sign of that in this book and Asperger's and Autistic are used interchangeably :)
- Gendered: This book was published 11 years ago, I think it's easy to forget how far we've come since then in terms of knowledge and understanding and recognition. Let's celebrate that
- Unscientific: Bits of alternative medicine are peppered throughout the book and then there's a chapter on it. Again, if it had been more like a memoir no one would have minded. But the unconditional love bit is 100% scientific, I tell you!… (más)
