Publisher Synopsis
"An extraordinary source of inspiration for autistic children, their parents - and all people." * Time * "The Autistic Brain can both enlighten readers with little exposure to autism and offer hope and compassion to those who live with the condition." * Scientific American * "Grandin has reached a stunning level of sophistication about herself and the science of autism.
