Nancy's Reviews > NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

This book has many good passages. The different ways psychiatry has described and dealt with autism over the years was very interesting. The descriptions of some well know historical figures with autistic traits was useful though I thought some were a bit of a stretch.

Silberman spent way too much time on the history of Science Fiction. It almost seemed like he had shoehorned part of another book in there.

(I'd written a longer review, but made a typo that apparently told goodreads to delete it, so this will have to do.)
