Neurotribes by Steve Silberman explores in fascinating, near-encyclopaedic depth how autism has evolved. It's a gripping narrative written with journalistic verve. --The ObserverWhatever the future of autism... Mr Silberman has surely written the definitive book about its past. --The EconomistNeuroTribes is beautifully told, humanizing, important. It has earned its enthusiastic foreword from Oliver Sacks; it has found its place on the shelf next to Far From the Tree, Andrew Solomon's landmark appreciation of neurological differences. --New York TimesSilberman is a skilled storyteller who uncovers the dark and complex history of autism through those who have shaped it... [he] researches with scientific rigour but is a campaigner at heart: he is an advocate for neurodiversity. --New StatesmanNeurotribes is a must-read that raises some interesting questions about the history of the autism diagnosis. --John Elder RobisonFor people in the field, or anyone seeking to understand the interplay between medical science and patient communities, it should be an essential resource. My own copy is already dog-eared and underlined throughout. --NatureTo read "NeuroTribes" is to realize how much autistic people have enriched the scope of human knowledge and diversity, and how impoverished the world would be without them. --San Francisco ChronicleBreathtaking... As emotionally resonant as any [book] this year. --The Boston Globe
