NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

#221843
NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity photo
What is autism? A lifelong disability or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is both of these things and more--and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. In NeuroTribes, award-winning science journalist Steve Silberman peels back layers of medical history surrounding the autism diagnosis, revealing the complex roles of Hans Asperger and Leo Kanner in our current understanding of autism and chronicling the brave and lonely journey of autistic people and their families through the decades. 
Radically altering the societal conversation about autism, Silberman also explores the game-changing concept of neurodiversity. Making the convincing case that neurological differences like autism, dyslexia, and ADHD are natural variations in the human genome that ultimately unite us as humans. NeuroTribes maps out a societal path toward a world in which people with cognitive differences have access to the resources they need to live happier, healthier, more secure, and more meaningful lives.
