Phillip's Autism case.. His encounter with Aristotle was a remarkable one.
What a wonderful service dog.
The whole story seems to be true life and direct from the Author . A must read book.

It definitely sounds good. I have a few family members who are autistic, it will be nice to be able to get in their minds.

Great review. Autism is such a unknown experience. Appears this author really delves into some real issues.

Autistic individuals have a lot to teach us. I am excited to learn more about Sabre and his partner's adventure. This book is something I would like to read. Thank you for your review!

I really like the idea of this magical world accessed by the trapdoor in the swimming pool. I'm going to check this one out.

I don't usually read stories like this, but your review has intrigued me! I want to explore those corridors, too. There are many high-functioning autistics and I'm happy that this one followed his heart and wrote a story! Thank you for the well thought out review. When you mention the trap door that leads to Ancient Greek, did you intend to do that instead of saying that it leads to Ancient Greece?

Very insightful review! This booklet was a quick, informative read. I think the author could continue sharing his story in booklets similar to this one, if he wanted to. It was written in a very approachable manner, and the shorter length can be useful for those with a shorter attention span. I enjoyed your review! Thank you for sharing!

I would surely read this book. A lot of knowledge about autism would surely gain in this book and how we take good care and treat them despite their situation. Thank you for this helpful review.

This sounds like a really good book. I like that it deals with autism as so many people shy away from it and do not understand it at all. Thanks fora good review and I look forward to reading this one.
