Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I hesitate to write this review, but I wish someone had written one like it before I bought the book, so here goes. I bought this for my son who loves exploring, learning, experimenting, and reading. He is also autistic and a very literal thinker. Wandering is a very serious concern for many families of autistic children, so I was alarmed and disappointed when I flipped through the book and found a small section on getting lost and wandering aimlessly. It might have innocent intentions, but I kept from giving him the book, as I knew there was a chance he would take it seriously. I waited a year and a half to see if it might become more appropriate later in his development with a simple discussion about it together, but even now I'm deciding to simply tear those pages out. No loss here, but I would just like to warn others who may be giving this as a gift. I'm glad I skimmed it before giving it to him. I don't usually have the time to read every book before he does since he reads voraciously. It seems to me that others might like to know this too. It is otherwise a cool book, and I look forward to finally giving it to my son, even missing a couple pages. (Photo attached with the pages.) "The Importance of getting lost." "We may choose to become either literally lost, exploring a place we've never been before..." And "How to wander aimlessly. 1. Pick a day and time. 2. Pack a bag. 3. Start heading in any direction. Act only on instinct. 4. Do the opposite of what you think you should. 5. If you start to think you are wasting your time then you are doing it correctly. 6. Keep going. Pay attention to the details. Lose all sense of time and place. " There's no mention of finding your way back or getting help or being safe. Simply not appropriate for everyone, even explorers.
