And now we have a long passage that while containing some historical truth is, at it's core a white guy fetishizing a native culture, turning it into some perfect, mystical, pure and true thing that he absolutely must force him, his wife and son into For Their Own Good(tm). We are smack in the middle of a white guy goes native, plus Mongol/magic negros, with a sprinkle of exoticism.

Yay! Dad and son bonding over horse back riding. Boo, every teacher and aide are just useless, over paid baby sitters and, of course, the therapists are also useless at best, abusive occasionally. Dude, you are struggling to handle ONE child with autism. they handle dozens, often at the same time. Smugness rating at 90%

I don't know that I'm going to make it through this book. It's VERY woo. White hippy family learns their son is autistic and goes on wild travels to have him healed by a Mongolian shaman because the boy has a magical connection with horses? Very smug sounding. If this is a "cure your autistic kid through nature" story I'm not going to make it.
