Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity by Steve Silberman

4.0

I might not have picked this up if I could have scanned it first instead of reading as an ebook: I personally am not as interested in the people who did the first research on autism as I am in learning more about the experience of autism itself, so the book improved a lot for me once we made it into the later portions of the 20th century and the first-person stories of autistic people living life. Seems like there’s enough “autism” info out there that prioritizes the stories and experiences of the surrounding allistic people. I loved the anecdotes and quote throughout; both me and my autistic loved one found them very relatable
