The autists : women on the spectrum / by Clara Tornvall.
autists :
An inclusive and candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis. Until the 1980's, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained undiagnosed. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts - talented and socially awkward. Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women? and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes?
