This read like a very repetitive book where ADHD, Autism and CAPD gets compared constantly. Not sure why the author felt the need to do that over and over maybe to make sure the reader understood what they were talking about. Still, it felt over the top and unnecessary.

An ARC was given to me via Netgalley in return of an honest review.

I chose to ARC read this book for Autism Acceptance month thinking it would be a great book to promote but I don’t know that I’d even qualify it as a book with the small page count and extreme use of spacing. The writing was also redundant throughout.
This information could’ve been simplified into a pamphlet on the overlaps of the 3 diagnosis relating to identifying/supporting them.
I appreciated the attempted use of charts but they read like a phone note and would’ve done better in an actual table.

I'm both a parent of a child with diagnosed ASD, and an educator. I've read many books on autism and ways autistic and special needs children can be supported in the home and classroom. The title of this book caught my attention, and I hoped to learn about auditory processing disorders from reading it. Unfortunately, this 34 page guide (I don't think the length qualifies it as a book), was a big miss for me.

This guide was extremely repetitive, to the point that many pages said almost the exact same thing and had me wondering if it was generated by AI. Although the synopsis says it is for educators, parents, etc., the intended audience often shifts in the writing and doesn't flow well. This guide is written almost entirely in checklist and bullet formats, with very few paragraphs and very little cohesive flow.

There was also no authority or experience cited by the author, nor was any research of others mentioned within the guide. The large amount of filler text could have been edited down to create a short article and not lose any of the impact from words removed. The "case studies" were simply a generic statement of a child with a problem, followed by a simple panacea that most would think is a common sense solution anyway.

I read this ARC, but unfortunately cannot recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the complementary copy of this ARC. My review is my honest opinion and is in no way influenced by the author or publisher.
