NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently by Steve Silberman
1 review
I've read a few books now on autism, trauma, and other psychological differences that upend neurotypical expectations. NONE of them have spent so much page space basically performing fellatio on supposed medical professionals essentially torturing young children into "acting sanely." Once it got the Lovaas wiring floors with electric shock to "discourage" autistic children from stimming, I was done. I understand that research standards were pretty low 60 or 70 years ago, but I don't want to and won't read about it for 500+ pages.
