Reception
The book has received criticism for its positive portrayal of facilitated communication, a widely discredited and controversial technique. Autistic co-author Peyton Goddard also uses facilitated communication. This has caused some to call into question the extent to which Goddard's contributions to the novel are her own, and to which degree they originate from the facilitation partner.[3]
