I bought this the day my daughter was diagnosed and read it in one sitting. Chapter 1 felt like someone finally explaining things the way a friend would, not the way a pamphlet does. The part about what's actually happening in the brain made me cry, but in a good way — like I finally understood. The question list in chapter 4 helped me walk into our first specialist appointment without freezing up. I've already recommended it to two other moms in our support group.
