Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity by Steve Silberman

challenging reflective sad slow-paced

3.0

I wouldn't recommend this to most neurodivergent people. It's a decent summary of the modern history of autism, but often devolves into a mode of "look at how horribly mistreated were/are the neurodivergents," which I personally found more triggering than educational.
