This book was very helpful to me (even without sitting down and formally doing the exercises) because it does repeat a variation on the same lesson over and over. The chapters build on each other and I need repetition to make something stick. However, there are definitely elements that are outdated and frustrating, the biggest for me being that she is the stereotype of an autism mom. Any autistic readers should go in knowing that whenever she brings up her son, it is probably going to be triggering at worst or offensive and frustrating at the least. They generally only come up in the “My Story” sections at the end of a particular subject or chapter. Proceed with caution. But a generally interesting book I highlighted a lot, and I’ve already started to notice a difference in my self talk when I make a mistake.
