In Autism Is the Future, Marlo Thurman reveals how cognitive differences are the constructing pieces in understanding those with Autism. Through her findings, she shows how those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) constantly challenge assumptions about intelligence and measuring intelligence. Thurman proposes that sensory and cognitive development have evolved together into a very different form of intelligence in those with ASD, and it should be viewed not as a disability but instead as a difference to be celebrated and followed.
As both a clinician who works with individuals identified as autistic and a parent of a teenage son on the spectrum, I'm always looking for new insights. Honestly, this is one of the best books about autism I've read recently. Throughout, the author challenges commonly held beliefs about how autism "works" and how we should "treat" it."—Sandra Kirchner
