Customer Reviews

For Professionals only, not personal use.
Firstly the cover is disturbingly reminiscent of sexual abuse which I did not like. I had bought it for my son, who has Aspergers, but the language was not suitable - Professionals talk like this but then they don't see the human side of having a condition like this!
