Über diesen Titel
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 and more - and 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, and 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 and chronicling the brave and lonely journey of autistic people and their families through the decades, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle while casting light on the growing movement of 'neurodiversity' and mapping out a path towards a more humane world for people with learning differences.

However, the book does not stop there. It also introduces the concept of neurodiversity, which might well be the most important change in how we think about autism that has been introduced in the past decades, and it explains how neurodiversity is connected to and fits into the wider scheme of the disability rights movement.
Most importantly, this book amplifies the voices of autistic people instead of only repeating the narratives established by so-called “autism experts”. While the perspective on the early history is inevitably dominated by citing such “experts”, the book also explores the first developments of self-advocacy and shows how these efforts have rightfully gained more traction over time.
In summary, I can wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone, whether they are autistic or allistic.
A superb summary of the history of autism
