The Soloist by Mark Salzman5/25/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() But I'm not entirely sure that we've done these precious people any service by closing all the facilities which once housed them. You see, I am the mother of a severely mentally retarded, severely autistic adult, who only through the grace of God, lots of work on our part (mine and my husband's), and constantly advocating for her, is now in an appropriate group home close to us, where she is safe. ![]() I am one of those people who have really been angered by the laws which put the mentally ill out on the streets many years ago, when "in their best interest" the mental institutions were eventually all closed down, along with all the other institutional placements for the severely handicapped. they usually come no where near the book. It is seldom that I choose nonfiction books, and when I do I am often disappointed. ![]()
