520 "Nearly seventy-five years ago, Donald Triplett of Forest,
Mississippi became the first child diagnosed with autism.
Beginning with his family's odyssey, In a Different Key
tells the extraordinary story of this often misunderstood
condition, and of the civil rights battles waged by the
families of those who have it. Unfolding over decades, it
is a beautifully rendered history of ordinary people
determined to secure a place in the world for those with
autism--by liberating children from dank institutions,
campaigning for their right to go to school, challenging
expert opinion on what it means to have autism, and
persuading society to accept those who are different. It
is the story of women like Ruth Sullivan, who rebelled
against a medical establishment that blamed cold and
rejecting "refrigerator mothers" for causing autism; and
of fathers who pushed scientists to dig harder for
treatments. Many others played starring roles too: doctors
like Leo Kanner, who pioneered our understanding of
autism; lawyers like Tom Gilhool, who took the families'
battle for education to the courtroom; scientists who
sparred over how to treat autism; and those with autism,
like Temple Grandin, Alex Plank, and Ari Ne'eman, who
explained their inner worlds and championed the philosophy
of neurodiversity. This is also a story of fierce
controversies--from the question of whether there is truly
an autism "epidemic," and whether vaccines played a part
in it; to scandals involving "facilitated communication,"
one of many treatments that have proved to be blind
alleys; to stark disagreements about whether scientists
should pursue a cure for autism. There are dark turns too:
we learn about experimenters feeding LSD to children with
autism, or shocking them with electricity to change their
behavior; and the authors reveal compelling evidence that
Hans Asperger, discoverer of the syndrome named after him,
participated in the Nazi program that consigned disabled
children to death. By
520 turns intimate and panoramic, In a Different Key takes us
on a journey from an era when families were shamed and
children were condemned to institutions to one in which a
cadre of people with autism push not simply for inclusion,
but for a new understanding of autism: as difference
rather than disability"--|cProvided by publisher.
