Autism is old and unruly. It's been a part of us since we first
left handprints on cave walls 40,000 year s ago. Autism and Us: Old
as Time covers a long-stretch view of its neurological history and
how society has judged it. With quotes from old medical records,
folk-tale beliefs, and Victorian literature, the book conjures up
the 19th century mix of ignorance, cruelty, fumbling knowledge, and
surprising love that led to the first medical recognition of autism
as a social disorder. From that medically significant recognition
has grown our present day neurological and cognitive understanding.
