Summary of Temple Grandin & Richard Panek's The Autistic Brain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 I was born in 1947, which was before the diagnosis of autism was established. My mother took me to a neurologist, who diagnosed me with brain damage. She then took me to a speech therapist, who made me hear sounds and taught me how to eat and talk.

#2 The diagnosis of autism has been confusing and variable over the years. It is based on observing and evaluating behaviors, which are subjective. It is unclear if the symptoms are biological or psychological.

#3 When Kanner looked at the effects of autism, he might have originally told himself that they were possibly biological in nature, but he nonetheless wound up seeking a psychological cause. When he speculated on what villains might have inflicted the psychic injury, he rounded up psychoanalysis’s usual suspects: the parents.

#4 The idea that bad behavior is the result of poor parenting was popularized by psychiatrist Leo Kanner, but it was actually the opposite that true: poor parenting caused the child to behave badly.
