Great for teens but I need something for 50+ and support/family like myself who cares for my mother with autism who was diagnosed late in life.
her autism has developed in different ways the more she ages and I cant seem to find any literature to help!

Oh dear!
I don't know where to begin, but I hardly made it past the introduction.
For a start, it's aimed more at adolescents on the spectrum rather than adults. It's also presented in a patronising way and the narrator has a very grating voice -- I'm not enjoying it.

Disrespectful & automated. Worst audiobook ever.
Narration seems very automated and to my knowledge they don’t pronounce Asperger’s correctly. I find it insulting and disrespectful. How are you going to sit and claim that this book is by a professional and yet you can’t even get one and most important word correct?
