Finding Kansas - Reading Currently

This weekend I will try to finish reading Finding Kansas by Aaron Likens. I haven't posted many book reviews to The Autistic Me because I don't find that many autism-related books "fun reading" (and some autism books support ideas I don't wish to promote). I will post my thoughts as soon as I finish with the text. So far, it is interesting, without many of the elements I find annoying in other autism-related works.
