Vermeulen, Mr Peter, JKP author

Autistic Thinking

This Is the Title

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

To understand the ways people with autism think, Vermeulen argues, we need to try to get inside their world. The latest scientific thinking is clearly explained, and illustrated by numerous personal accounts. This introductory book offers the reader a real window into the autistic mind and the very individual way in which it processes information.
