Neurotribes. The "history" of Autism.
@lisalucier, there is so much to learn.

One phrase has caught my eye so far.
Take a quiet, pleasantly outfitted room, and bring your Auite inside.

Shut the door behind you. All the comorbid conditions to Autism fall away in a calm quiet intellectually rich environment.

The noise the smells the sights the textures the tastes the pace the intensity the spiralling down to a meltdown .....of the out side world.

Therein lie the questions snd therein lie the answers.

He goes on to describe ancient characters who exhibited many of the same behaviors as those we refer to as Autistic.
It cannot be made plainer than that.

We are not new. We have been here all along.
