This is an important book if only because it brings neurodiversity into the discourse on disability. Additionally, the chapter on mothering puts this book into the genre of parents writing about mothering (sometimes fathering) their disabled children. Indeed, the author writes lovingly about her experience of mothering Zoey. It is more than simple biography of neurodiversity within the family: it is a disability studies text…. General readers through graduate students; professionals.
