unstrange minds?

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone read Unstrange Minds? ---reading it now and enjoying! Great perspective and gives global perspective on autism and how it's perceived around the world. His daughter was diagnosed and this was the draw. EXcellent writing.

Yup-I bought, read, and liked it.
If you like that, you might like the older book by Paul Collins, "Not Even Wrong". Combines the personal narrative (author's relationship with his son) with additional mental musings/perspectives over time/space, though of course "Unstrange Minds" is more up-to-date & comprehensive/wide-ranging. Collins' book is bit more "philosophical history" & Grinker's book is rather more "cultural anthroplogy".

I haven't even heard of it - until now. I'll have to check it out - thanks, looks interesting.
