In its review, the New York Times called NeuroTribes "beautifully told, humanizing, and important." Author Steve Silberman will personalize a copy of the book for the winning bidder.

NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity by Steve Silberman is a groundbreaking book that upends conventional thinking about autism and suggests a broader model for acceptance, understanding, and full participation in society for people who think differently.

WIRED reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years.
