★★★★

I picked this up the night my daughter was diagnosed and I couldn't sleep. The chapter that explains the name itself — breaking it down into the walking, the speech, and the brain scans — finally made it feel manageable instead of monstrous. It's honest but not doom-and-gloom, and I literally brought the question list from chapter 8 to our next doctor visit. It doesn't fix anything, but it made me feel like I wasn't alone in the dark. Worth every penny.
