NeuroTribes

I'm really conflicted about this book — it's very in-depth, well-researched and written in an engaging fashion. The author goes into exhaustive detail about the history of autism and Asperger's Syndrome ... but relegates the ostensible point of the book (neurodiversity, present and future) to what amounts to an extended epilogue. If you're looking for a comprehensive history of autism, you've found the right book. If you're looking for anything else, keep searching.
