Quite frankly, this book is a marvel. It is not about a Ph.D. thesis on autism, nor about advertising the one or other "solution" to the problem. It is not about expensive therapies, or "miracle drugs". It is about understanding. It is about everybody's autistic child, and helping to understand the possible and scientifically detectable biochemical problems such a child might carry deep inside, hidden behind all those well known symptoms that have been described so eloquently in so many books before. It is not meant to be the holy bible in autism research. But it is about rational approaches, and yes, science, and here most importantly about fairly affordable possible solutions. Both of which are for the real world. Now nobody can say he or she didn't know. A book like this on autism has been long overdue.
