This book is not written for autistics, but for neurotypicals trying to understand the history of Autism.  Some extremely disturbing early “treatment” methods were included

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT HISTORY BOOK, just not really meant for autistics. The history of using violence and torture is important information for neurotypicals and supporters of ABA.
