I think it would be extremely helpful even if only you read it. You may want to share insights from the book with her. What I think the book does, to use an analogy, is to take the blank, white, featureless landscape of the LDW and show that there are detail there to be identified and understood. It isn't all white... there's a white bunny there, and some pineapple sherbet, and white flowers, white rice, smooth white stones. From a distance and in a hurry, all you can see is white, white, white... but there really is stuff going on... there are ideas, decisions, fears, choices-- stuff you can work with.

I mean this in NO way as a put-down or an insult to any LD person or any person, animal, political party, or religion. What I meant by this is that it's easy to say (and we say it here all the time), "my spouse is LD," as though that were all there is to say and that LD means the same thing for everyone at every time. This book parses* the idea of LD in a very illuminating and helpful way.
Lillie, who's being VERY careful of how she phrases things.
