In The Autistic Brain, New York Times bestselling author Temple Grandin "has reached a stunning level of sophistication about herself and the science of autism" (The New York Review of Books).
Winner of a Goodreads Choice Award for Best Nonfiction Book
Temple Grandin may be the most famous person with autism, a condition that affects 1 in 88 children. Since her birth in 1947, our understanding of it has undergone a great transformation, leading to more hope than ever before that we may finally learn the causes of and treatments for autism.
Weaving her own experience with remarkable new discoveries, Grandin introduces the advances in neuroimaging and genetic research that link brain science to behavior, even sharing her own brain scan to show which anomalies might explain common symptoms like challenges with sensory processing. Most excitingly, she argues that raising and educating kids on the autism spectrum requires a strengths-based approach, focusing on their long-overlooked talents to foster their unique contributions.
The Autistic Brain brings Grandin’s singular perspective to the heart of the neurodiversity revolution.
