Robert S. Siegler Robbie Case: A Modern Classic About 15 years ago,
Robbie asked me what I thought of a talk we had just heard. I
indicated that I hadn't much liked it and noted several serious
problems. Robbie agreed with all of the criticisms, but said that
he nonetheless liked the talk, because there was one good idea in
it that he could use. I agreed with him that the idea was a good
one, but it took me a while to understand the wisdom of his
position. If there's one useful idea in a talk, then hearing it has
been worthwhile, even if the talk also has numerous de?ciencies. On
that day and on many others, talking with Robbie changed my
thinking for the better. Robbie Case was in many ways a classic
developmental psychologist of the old school. The depth and breadth
of his theory; the range of age groups, populations, and topics
that he studied; and his efforts to connect theory and application
are all reminiscent of the greats of the past: Baldwin, Dewey,
Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bruner.

This book explores what it is like to be an autistic child, through
interviews with T, a 'psychologically unusual' thirteen-year-old.
In this detailed case study, Vuletic and Ferrari combine an
autobiographical account with a parental perspective, while
simultaneously integrating psychiatric and psychological research
on autism. The authors evaluate the merits and pitfalls of
different interpretations of autism and address the broad
psychological issues related to autism - intelligence;
autobiographical memory; transitional period from childhood to
adolescence; school and peer-based social skills training. The
study includes results and interpretations of standard measures of
self-concept, an IQ test and a psychiatric exam, contributing to
the hitherto under-researched area of autistic self-knowledge. This
book juxtaposes scientific and personal perspectives, shedding new
light on the buzzword 'normal', where unusual is synonymous with
autistic.
