Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism
Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now, Dr. Barry M. Prizant offers a new and compelling paradigm, the concept that the most successful approaches to autism don’t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms but rather seeking to understand the individual’s experience and what underlies the behavior.
