About this book
Reviews
"[A]s well as taking up the theme of the social construction of autism, everything that surrounds autism being as important as the condition itself in terms of reaction to it, [Autism: A Social Medical History] acknowledges perhaps for the first time the role of autistic people in this and how we are seeking to change the boundaries of what essentially is our country." - Autonomy, the Critical Journal of Interdisciplinary Autism Studies
'Waltz's engaging writing style and detailed biographical sketches make the story of autism real and readable for both academic and non-academic audiences.' - Social History of Medicine
