Autism Explaining the Enigma by Uta Frith...
Autism Explaining the Enigma by Uta Frith, This book provides the first satisfactory psychological account of what happens in the mind of a person with autism. The book proposes that the key problems for autistic people were an inability to recognize and think about thoughts (theory of mind), and an inability to integrate pieces of information into coherent wholes (central coherence). The book outlines neuropsychological research on autism. The book overviews one of the most important theoretical and practical consequences of Frith's original insights into this puzzling condition. Classic account of autism. Includes sections covering practical and theoretical developments. Accessible to a broad general readership.I have several other books on the same subject available. £, Worthing, .
