I understand long reading lists. The suffering of children can be heartbreaking. Luckily Dewey has some good instincts. Thanks for your comments.cpru68 wrote: ↑05 Aug 2018, 11:01 This sounds like a good book to bring awareness to the subject of special needs kids. Your description of Dewey at the beginning was so sad! It’s not that I don’t want to know more about the topic, but kids suffering makes me feel so bad that I have a hard time dealing with books like this. Your review makes me actually so grateful that I have not had to deal with this in my life. My heart hurts for those who do. Thank you for this insightful review. I might take a peek later as my reading obligations are a stack!

I think there are quite a few things that are over-diagnosed. Dewey definitely is struggling, but it might or might not be from autism.SABRADLEY wrote: ↑07 Aug 2018, 00:11 I'm always curious about autism. I find it tremendously over-diagnosed, but certainly understand there are true cases that should not be taken lightly. My heart goes out to Dewey as he struggles to find his place, and I'm so glad you enjoyed reading it. Thank you for a lovely review![]()

Thanks! You always have such great things to say. It was definitely eye-opening for those that are unfamiliar with the way things work.

It was that. A bit different than what I was expecting, but still good nonetheless.christabel88 wrote: ↑16 Aug 2018, 07:44 Sounds like an enlightening read. Thanks for your sound and detailed review!
