Great Book, September 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Differences in Common: Straight Talk on Mental Retardation, Down Syndrome, and Life (Paperback)
I truly feel this book is a must read for anyone with a child with Down syndrome. Marilyn Trainer was able to put into words many of the same feelings that I have had about my child with Down syndrome. She is very frank and doesn't hold back on how she feels about many issues concerning her son. I highly recommend Differences in Common!

Excellent and Heartwarming, October 31, 2003

This review is from: Differences in Common: Straight Talk on Mental Retardation, Down Syndrome, and Life (Paperback)
I picked this up at a DS conference and just finished reading, at times it made me happy and at times I cried. But it helped me put my life with my 18 mo old DS girl in perspective and also gave me hope for her future. This is an excellent book that is both inspirational and eye opening. A must read.

Great read for parents and others, August 11, 2004
This review is from: Differences in Common: Straight Talk on Mental Retardation, Down Syndrome, and Life (Paperback)
Trainer is an excellent writter who cuts right to the heart of the matter. She deals frankly with some difficult topics and doesn't have much use for platitudes like "little angles", etc.
While the cover is clearly aimed at women, this is a book for us guys too. You'll enjoy the writing and be affected by the content.
