The Autistic Brain: Thinking Across the Spectrum by Temple Grandin

3.0

“When something is "all in your mind," people tend to think that it's willful, that it's something you could control if only you tried harder or if you had been trained differently. I'm hoping that the newfound certainty that autism is in your brain and in your genes will affect public attitudes.”

This was such an interesting book on autism focusing specifically on a brain perspective and how more recent research into autism using functional brain scans has lead to more understanding of the condition. The first part of the book concentrated on the research an the second part had more anecdotes from the author's point of view.
