Introduces the neuroimaging advances and genetic research that link brain science to behavior, showing anomalies that might explain common symptoms. Speaks to scientists and self-advocates who are exploring innovative theories of what causes autism and how we can diagnose and best treat it. Highlights long-ignored sensory problems and the transformative effects we can have by treating autism symptom by symptom, rather than with an umbrella diagnosis. Argues that raising and educating kids on the spectrum isn't just a matter of focusing on their weaknesses; in the science that reveals their long-overlooked strengths she shows us new ways to foster their unique contributions |
