''Neurotribes'' is is an ambitious book. It aims to challenge the widely-held perception that autism is a disability, or a developmental delay. One of my favourite quotes from the book is this:
From the point of view of a book-reviewer, it was quite an achievement to read this weighty tome from cover to cover; as a reference book, it is not really designed to be read that way. But I'm glad that I did, as it gave me a unique insight into the autistic world. I thank the author for his thorough research and the publishers for my review copy.
Families affected by autism will love [[The Reason I Jump: One Boy's Voice from the Silence of Autism by Naoki Higashida and David Mitchell]], the story of an autistic boy in his own words. You could shelve ''Neurotribes'' next to [[The Autistic Brain by Temple Grandin and Richard Panek]].
