The Best Books for Parents of Autistic Children
Syreeta Brown, Memoirist
“Steve’s book reads like a novel. He’s a science writer but he tells wonderful stories…Read this book if you want to get a sense, from the socio-cultural and also from the historical diagnostic perspective, of how this concept of autism developed, and how the concept of autism has changed over the years, and if there really is an autism epidemic. Steve believes that there is not. Steve believes that we are just recognising people with autism and the category has expanded so greatly that that can account for the numbers we’re seeing today that we’ve never seen before of diagnosed people. It’s a wonderful book…It’s considered to be a game-changing book in terms of our understanding of autism.” Read more...
