The more ancient archives are the old home ed diary starting in June 2005 and evolving on from there.

A very well researched novel which, alongside Picoult's usual 'heading to a trial' plot, explores many facets of and perspectives on Asperger's Syndrome. The potential and common effects of AS on siblings is especially well documented here. As gripping and informative a book as Nineteen Minutes
