First published in 2015, it examines how autism came to be understood through clinical, social, and political lenses, and why that history shaped modern ideas about diagnosis, support, and identity. Rather than treating autism only as a medical category, Silberman presents it as part of a broader story about human cognitive variation. The book traces the early work of figures such as Hans Asperger and Leo Kanner, the long dominance of deficit-based thinking, and the later rise of neurodiversity as a framework centered on acceptance, accommodation, and self-determination. It is written for general readers, but it also speaks to parents, educators, clinicians, and autistic people themselves. Its purpose is not only to explain autism history, but to challenge assumptions about normality and to show how institutions can be redesigned to better fit diverse minds.
