Looks at the conditions that make up the autism spectrum in terms of characteristics, diagnosis and prevalence. This book discusses the problematic issue of how we should conceptualize the spectrum. It combines perspectives from psychiatry, psychology, philosophy and sociology to provide an account of the autism spectrum.
This book expands on a new cognitive theory which argues that what we see in autism is an extreme form of a tendency that exists in all people, and further, that this tendency is stronger in males. Given the influence that males have had in shaping (western) society it begs the question - how has this greater tendency in males manifested in the social structures, norms and values that structure our society?
