Steve Silberman: The forgotten history of autism

[King_Oni]

I'll leave this one here for anyone interested;


(The Ted talks video offers subtitles and a transcript for those interested; click the Ted logo on the top left in the video to head to the Ted talks site about the video)

I'd like to point out this is not an invite to debate vaccines, since the video does touch upon that, since it's very much part of, well... autism culture and history.

Excellent.

Thanks for sharing. I bookmarked that one.

They must care very much about autism to have provided a transcript.
Or at least, greatly care for those of us who prefer to read, print off, and keep a copy!

I believe they do this for most, if not all their videos, often in severeal languages even.

But I figured, I'd link the Ted talks video instead of the Youtube one because of the transcript and subtitles.

I didn't know Kanner was aware of Asperger.

Steve Silberman also wrote The Geek Syndrome. I will look into NeuroTribes when it will be released.

Good advertisement too. I may have to go check out all the other Ted Talks things has stored around their website.
