Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

NeuroTribes is a groundbreaking book that challenges conventional thinking about autism, offering a broader model for acceptance, understanding, and full participation in society for people who think differently.

Silberman unearths the secret history of autism research, providing a gripping narrative of pioneers Kanner and Asperger, and explores the concept of neurodiversity, arguing that neurological differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD are not errors of nature but natural variations in the human genome.

This comprehensive history of autism studies is essential for anyone seeking to understand this complex condition and its implications for our society.
