Description

Explore the complex history of autism in this insightful study from Routledge. While autism is recognized as a common developmental disorder today, the term itself did not exist a century ago. This book investigates the specific historical and social events that allowed autism to emerge as a distinct medical identification during the early twentieth century. Written from a unique perspective by an author who is also the mother of an autistic child, the text looks beyond pure biology. While acknowledging a biogenetic component to the condition, the book focuses on how social factors influence the identification, interpretation, and remediation of autism. It provides a deep look into what defines the autistic experience through a sociological lens. This work is an essential read for those interested in the anthropology and sociology of medical conditions. By examining how society constructs meaning around developmental disorders, readers gain a better understanding of the social processes that shape modern medical definitions and the lived reality of being autistic.
