Reader review . . .
Coming Through the Fog is the story of Heather Goldstein's childhood with Autism Disorder and her mother's battle with the medical and educational system. Heather was taken from doctor to doctor searching for a diagnosis because few of them understood the disorder. Their local school system did not understand the difficulties faced by Heather in dealing with daily school activities.
This is somewhat of a "dry" read, with the style reminiscent of a case study. However, for any parent whose child is on the Autism Spectrum this book would a valuable resource. Of particular interest to me was her assertion of a correlation between vaccinations and Autism. This is not the first I have heard of this, so I was glad to read this. However, it would have been nice if the author could have gone into more depth regarding her findings. Also, the timeline of the story is hard to follow, moving back and forth without explanation. It would have been interesting to hear at least some of the story from Heather's point of view. But the value of the book far outweighs my problems with it. The appendix of the book contains valuable resources for anyone needing more information on this disorder.
