Description

Steve Silberman's Neurotribes explores the complex and multifaceted nature of autism, challenging common perceptions and offering a nuanced understanding of this condition. By examining the history of autism research and the experiences of autistic individuals and their families, Silberman sheds light on the growing movement of neurodiversity activists seeking recognition and acceptance. The book reveals the untold story of Hans Asperger, the father of Asperger's syndrome, and exposes the covert campaign by child psychiatrist Leo Kanner to suppress knowledge of the autism spectrum. Silberman also maps out a path for society towards a more humane world, where individuals with learning differences have access to the resources they need to live happier and more meaningful lives. Through his research, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle, offering a hopeful and thought-provoking exploration of the future of autism and its impact on our society.
