Based Non fiction books on autism ?
>>25123745Whatever you do, don't read Simon Baron-Cohen on the subject. The guy is a sneaky kike who hates autistic people.
>>25123789Funny you mention that, I was reading an intro to evolutionary psychology book and that’s exactly who they referenced. Of course there was an two pages dedicated to Holocaust

Autism alone demands at least seven significant discussions even within its single diagnostic label. Even without controversies like the Wakefield vaccine scandal or the influence of Autism Speaks, there have been many major waves in how the diagnosis has been understood and applied.The first figure is Eugen Bleuler. A student of Kraepelin and the mentor of Carl Jung, Bleuler renamed what Kraepelin had called dementia praecox as schizophrenia. In doing so, he used the term autism to describe what we now call the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. This is the first use of the word autism in medical literature.The second is Leo Kanner. Kanner questioned the diagnosis of childhood schizophrenia and argued the condition he was observing was independent to psychotic symptoms. In his book 'Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact', he proposed that autism is a diagnosis in itself.The third is Hans Asperger. Working in Germany, Asperger observed that some autistic individuals demonstrated exceptional ability in specific domains, laying the groundwork for what would become known as Asperger's syndrome. His theory was influenced by Nazi Germany's eugenics, and despite the diagnosis being discarded from official classification due to these issues, it persists in informal use among some.The fourth is Lorna Wing. Wing was the first to argue that autism exists as a spectrum rather than as a discrete category. She also introduced Asperger's work to UK and coined the term "Asperger's syndrome". Her own daughter was autistic, and Wing's research played a definitive role in establishing autism as a neurodevelopmental condition, not from a family dysfunction or inadequate emotional bonding.The fifth is "Rain Man". The 1988 film did more to bring autism into public consciousness than perhaps any clinical paper of its era. It had a significant impact on raising awareness of autism and the number of diagnoses even in 2002, leading some to call it the "autism epidemic." Ian Hacking's concept of the "looping effect", the idea that media attention reshapes both memory and diagnosis is relevant here, though the film undeniably shaped how autism is popularly understood to this day.(1/2)
The sixth is neurodiversity. The concept was coined by Judy Singer, and it emerged from of three factors. Some autistic people have come to regard their autism their identity; that autism can, in certain individuals, rather sharpen specific cognitive abilities; the lack of effective psychiatric medication for autism makes it hard to categorize it as a pathology that needs to be treated. These factors together have led to the view that autism, and by extension many other psychiatric conditions, most of which (includes autism) are genuinely debilitating, might be better understood as simply a different form of human being rather than a deviation that needs to be fixed.The seventh is the Double Empathy Problem. Until relatively recently, Simon Baron-Cohen was considered the foremost authority on autism, and his framework centering on empathy deficits and theories like Theory of Mind, was dominant in the field. But studies testing these theories directly on autistic kids failed to replicate any difference between any normal people. In response, Damian Milton, an autistic himself and an autistic researcher, asserted that the empathy is not one-sided. Neurotypical people and autistic people both face challenges in exchanging empathy with each other. But individuals with autism have the ability to communicate with each other quite effectively. He raised the problem that current theory is only what it is because it is "neurotypical."Most people living normal lives will take nothing from any of this. But this history demonstrates one thing without resorting to the postmodern cliché of 'everyone is a little crazy': psychiatry and clinical psychology remain very infancy state of disciplines, still working out what they are measuring on the most basic level.Probably the one consistent feature of autism across all these frameworks is this: "a lifelong pattern of people HATING you even though you've done anything wrong". Someone tells you that a particular behavior is unacceptable, yet when others do the exact same thing, nothing happens. Others can get away with it just fine, but when you do it, that rule magically becomes ironclad. And what exactly you did wrong is something that even researchers who have spent decades in this field cannot reliably say.(2/2)

>>25124558>>25124560Is this the best AI can do?
>>25124597How retarded do you have to be to think this is ai?
>>25124599Your AI mixed up Leo Kanner and Asperger.And Autistic Disturbances of Affective Contact is not a book, it's a scientific paper.Also, it's not childhood schizophrenia, it's infantile psychosis.I'm not gonna waste more time on your clanker turd. Kys.
>>25124628>From Kanner’s perspective, however, the model of childhood schizophrenia that was rapidly taking hold in his field had several problems. The most obvious one was that the theory that this condition was a prodromal phase of adult psychosis was still untested. (4. FASCINATING PECULIARITIES)It literally says "childhood schizophrenia" in Neurotribes by Steve Silverman. With that post, I wanted to say that it's difficult to cover in a single book, that it's still constantly changing, and that people's biases have consistently been woven into it.
>>25124209Literally all of it.
>>25124558>>25124560This is fascinating.

>>25124209I'm all of these but instead of not having eye contact, I apparently stare too much.
What's the judges quote about things existing without his permission? I wanna start working that into conversations
>>25125782I forgot, but it sounds very autistic
Made an ass out of myself in the library trying to get a first edition by asking to see the damaged books pile. Apparently it's a no you can't.

>>25123745There are none. Autism is very rare compared to personality disorders and character neurosis. Personality issues can reduce self-reflective function causing people to think they have autism. Usually there's very little neurodevelopmental about it.You are better off reading about psychoanalysis because when you understand psychodynamics you will be able to clearly differentiate what's neurodevelopmental and what's characterological.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlmNqJqEC-Y
