Alright, everyone knows now that the Misdiagnosis book is wonderful, but last Monday, Brock and Fernette Eide's book came out. It is the Mislabeled Child.

This is another must read now book. I've devoured it since Monday. I've learned so much about my son in the Handwriting and the Midas Touch (about 2E) chapters.

This book really explains how the brain work (working memory, personal memory and impersonal memory...etc) and how these systems can overload in very bright children causing automacity to be delayed and.....well, read it!!!

I agree -
the pages on Visual imput problem gave me goosebumps!

understanding of a child's unique brain-based strengths can be used

professionals through the morass of commonly used labels and
treatments, offering specific helping suggestions that can be used
