The Challenge of NadiaReviewsThe case of Nadia is unique in the history of autism and in the history of outsider art. Nadia's exuberantly prolific drawings in early childhood remain a mystery as well as an incredible achievement. This book sees the author who first discovered Nadias's abilities unravel the story and consider the exceptional case history within the context of the latest research on autism and talent. - Uta Frith, UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UK This book is completely unique; it contains a wealth of description, and applies the latest cognitive neuroscience research to our understanding of autism and savantism.
