This best-selling book tells the story of Leo Kanner and Hans Asperger, the research pioneers who defined the scope of autism in profoundly different ways; and then goes on to explore the game-changing concept of neurodiversity. It considers the idea that neurological differences such as autism, dyslexia, and ADHD are not errors of nature or products of the toxic modern world, but the result of natural variations in the human genome. This groundbreaking book will reshape our understanding of the history, meaning, function, and implications of neurodiversity in our world.
