The great thing about this book is that it was written at all. There is a criminal lack of recognition and operational education for those of us who are off-the-charts sensitive. The sad thing about this book is that to not good. At all.

The solutions herein are seem to be gathered from a data point of what feels like 1 or 2 people, and evince a low level of creativity. As many reviewers have already pointed out, the coping strategies are facile.

I think a good project for a team would be gathering a list of better suggestions and strategies and rewriting this book as a public service.
