Author Henry Kong's "More Self than Self: At Autism's Edge" will
take you on a captivating exploration of the autistic mind as Dr.
Kong shares the latest discoveries in genetics and
neuroscience.
As a child, Kong was an awkward Asian American bookworm with
oversized glasses and an overbearing father. Made to feel like an
outsider, Kong was bullied by his classmates and endured degrading
nicknames. Kong's stories tell of his childhood gift for
memorization and the challenge that it creates later in life, and
of his struggle to grasp and apply concepts to real-life
situations. Through it all, Kong manages to finish medical school,
educate himself about Asperger syndrome, write books, and open a
private practice.
In a conversational style, Dr Kong intersperses anecdotes with
passages that cover both basic science and also delve into the
cutting-edge research that has helped solve some of the mysteries
behind autism. Not only will "More Self than Self" provide a
comprehensive look into the differences between the autistic and
neurotypical brain; it will also inspire anyone who has ever felt
isolated and unaccepted to believe that they too can make their
dreams come true.
