This is a terrible book. Waste of effort and money. It is a blatant rip off of Siblerman's "Neurotribes" and a poor one at that. Particularly offensive is the repeated use of the term "disease" to describe autism, which is not only inaccurate, given today's recognition that autism is in fact a neurological functioning, but is also a misrepresentation of Silberman's book.

This was fascinating. But when reading about the Nazis very disturbing. What I came away with is who is to say who is normal. The philosophies of men are very destructive. And every life has value. How arrogant to say otherwise.

Oh Dear! Can you give negative stars? That'd be like Black Holes. One black hole for this book.
This is the companion to the actual book that I finished reading yesterday and it is obvious why I don't go for this sort of "literature". Whilst the book and its ghost writers try to summarize a book that goes off on tangents, the authors are guilty of being too concise...You haven't read the book if you read this summary. Oh, and in the Audible version, Dustin Hoffman is referred to as Dennis Hoppman twice. Yikes.....

Read the book Neurotribes, not this!

Ableist and awful rip off of the Neurotribes actual book. And a bad one, it is so ableist mentioning Autism as if it was a disease and it uses person first language which is yikes.
