Über diesen Titel
What causes autism? Is it a genetic disorder, or due to some unknown environmental hazard? Are we facing an autism epidemic? What are the main symptoms, and how does it relate to Asperger syndrome?
Everyone has heard of autism, but the disorder itself is little understood. It has captured the public imagination through films and novels portraying individuals with baffling combinations of disability and extraordinary talent, and yet the reality is that it often places a heavy burden on sufferers and their families.
This Very Short Introduction offers a clear statement on what is currently known about autism and Asperger syndrome. Explaining the vast array of different conditions that hide behind these two labels, and looking at symptoms from the full spectrum of autistic disorders, it explores the possible causes for the apparent rise in autism and also evaluates the links with neuroscience, psychology, brain development, genetics, and environmental causes including MMR and Thimerosal. This VSI also explores the psychology behind social impairment and savantism, and sheds light on what it is like to live inside the mind of the sufferer.

Excellent audiobook providing comprehensive overview

- She ignores the many valid views of people with ASD
- she obviously has no interest in the perception of the topic by the people affected.
- We (who have ASD) are not sick, just different. Just like racist views, this view on neurodiversity is highly problematic.
Biased and insulting

Didn't think it's possible to spend a lifetime on a topic and still get it THIS wrong. Not my place to judge the author, but...
How can this not be from the 1980ies? Stereotypes are being held high, research of at least 30 years fully ignored, pathological speech everywhere and a long hard praise song about Asperger is also sung.
Garbage.
Outdated af!
