The Quick Cut: A how-to guide on life basics such as health, cooking, laundry, and emergencies for those on the Autism Spectrum.
A Real Review:
Thank you to Future Horizons for providing the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book is one that truthfully I would categorize as more of a workbook than anything else. The chapters are called "Units" and have sections for each topic. Each topic starts with a paragraph introduction told in the form of an example story. These are then followed by some terms & definitions, then a small assignment fore the reader to complete.
With seven units in this book and three sections for each unit, it's a short book. That being said, I can see how this could be absolutely invaluable in the right hands.
For someone like me - an Aspie who is a level 1 on the Autism Spectrum - this reads as pandering and a total waste of time. However, to someone who is possibly a level 2 or definitely a level 3 on the Autism Spectrum? That's a different story because at those levels more support is needed and this type of information isn't as easily learned for them.
My only criticism of this book is that the description and marketing should really point out that this is targeted towards the severely Autistic. Anyone on the higher end, such as level 1, is only going to reject this like a complete waste of space. It wasn't written for them.
My rating: 3.5 out of 5
