This book is a history of the autism diagnosis as we currently understand it. However, it's more than that. It's the story of the medical professionals who realized that autism was not a psychosis, it's the story of the parents who fought for understanding and acceptance, and even more important, the right to be educated, for their autistic children. While this book is a fact-based history, it reads like a novel. I was drawn in and enjoyed the progression of the book.
