Reviews

This ambitious book brings together a diverse and vastly experienced group of neurotypical and neurodivergent commentators offering observations and advice based on lived experience and research. I particularly welcome the inclusion of the often neglected topics of autism, ethnicity, and culture, the development of IT, and the justice system. -- Richard Mills, Associate Consultant, AT-Autism, London, & Research Fellow, Dept of Psychology, University of Bath
