A cutting-edge account of the latest science of autism, from the
best-selling author and advocate When Temple Grandin was born in
1947, autism had only just been named. Today it is more prevalent
than ever, with one in 88 children diagnosed on the spectrum. And
our thinking about it has undergone a transformation in her
lifetime: Autism studies have moved from the realm of psychology to
neurology and genetics, and there is far more hope today than ever
before thanks to groundbreaking new research into causes and
treatments. Now Temple Grandin reports from the forefront of autism
science, bringing her singular perspective to a thrilling journey
into the heart of the autism revolution. Weaving her own experience
with remarkable new discoveries, Grandin introduces the
neuroimaging advances and genetic research that link brain science
to behavior, even sharing her own brain scan to show us which
anomalies might explain common symptoms. We meet the scientists and
self-advocates who are exploring innovative theories of what causes
autism and how we can diagnose and best treat it. Grandin also
highlights long-ignored sensory problems and the transformative
effects we can have by treating autism symptom by symptom, rather
than with an umbrella diagnosis. Most exciting, she argues that
raising and educating kids on the spectrum isn't just a matter of
focusing on their weaknesses; in the science that reveals their
long-overlooked strengths she shows us new ways to foster their
unique contributions. From the "aspies" in Silicon Valley to the
five-year-old without language, Grandin understands the true
meaning of the word spectrum. The Autistic Brain is essential
reading from the most respected and beloved voices in the field.
