Squirmy Wormy is, at first glance, a picture book which deals with Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder.

She presented herself as just a mother speaking for thousands of other mothers. Her remarkable success was contrasted with the apparent failure of autism organizations to [...]]]></description>

In this post, I want to look at the case &#8220;against&#8221;.
