Book Review of Schuyler's Monster: A Father's Journey with His Wordless Daughter

Schuyler's Monster: A Father's Journey with His Wordless Daughter


I liked the book. I was interested in the story and wanted to find out how the author learned of his daughter's diagnosis and the journey to helping her find a way to communicate. He and his wife were very strong advocates for their daughter, and when they came up against "professionals" who refused to listen to them as to what they felt would be best for their daughter, they always found a way to get what their daughter needed in spite of the opposition. I didn't give the book a higher rating because the occasional use of profanity was offensive to me. I realize that is who the author is, and he chose not to tone down for the book. I finished the book and quickly passed it on to someone else who wanted to read it.
