Reviews for Autism In History

The average rating for Autism In History based on 2 reviews is 3.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2014-01-03 00:00:00 Marvin Stehr I was interested in this because Uta Frith is a well-known cognitive neuroscientist and the person described here seems to be one of the earliest cases of autism, although at the time he was described as a "natural [i.e. congenital] idiot." There are excessive historical context/details but altogether I enjoyed this.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-07-15 00:00:00 Robi Rafmussen Dense, clinical, often tedious to read - but highly informative, clear, logical book that provides a fascinating look at the history of autism. Definitely a must-read for anyone curious about autism, but not an entry level read either. Had a distinct sense of relief after reading as to the evolution of how autists are treated by society.
