Winner of the 2015 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction A Sunday Times & New York Times bestseller Foreword by Oliver Sacks What is autism: a devastating developmental condition, a lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is all of these things & more
- & the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Following on from his groundbreaking article ` The Geek Syndrome`, Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, & finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years. Going back to the earliest autism research & chronicling the brave & lonely journey of autistic people & their families through the decades, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle while casting light on the growing movement of `neurodiversity` & mapping out a path towards a more humane world for people with learning differences.
