★★★★★This guide is solid and genuinely helpful for a scary moment. I appreciated the plain language and the way Chapter 1 explained the genetics without making me feel stupid — that alone was worth it. It lost a star because some of the day-to-day advice felt a bit generic, and I wished there were more specifics about therapy options. But the tone is right, it's honest about uncertainty, and the doctor question list in the last chapter is a lifesaver. I'd recommend it to other parents who just got hit with this news.
