Family & Relationships | Children with Special Needs ; Family & Relationships | Autism Spectrum Disorders ; Psychology | Psychopathology | Autism Spectrum Disorders ; Social Science | Disability ; Psychology | Mental Health Autism is old and unruly. It's been a part of us since we first left handprints on cave walls 40,000 year--s ago. AUTISM AND US covers a long-stretch view of its neurological history and how society has judged it. With quotes from old medical records, folk-tale beliefs, and Victorian literature, the book conjures up the 19 th century- mix of ignorance, cruelty, fumbling knowledge, and surprising love that led to the first medical recognition of autism as a social disorder. From that medically significant recognition has grown our present day neurological and cognitive understanding. |
