Description
The Politics of AutismThe Politics of Autism investigates the truths and fictions of public understanding about autism, questioning apparent realities too sensitive or impolitic to challenge. Is there really more autism? How has the count expanded by diagnosing autism over other conditions? Have scientific methods in autism diagnosis gone hand in hand with autism increases? Are mild autism cases really a 'disorder, ' rather than personality variant? Can autism be quiescent
The Politics of Autism investigates the truths and fictions of public understanding about autism, questioning apparent realities too sensitive or impolitic to challenge. Is there really more autism? How has the count expanded by diagnosing autism over other conditions? Have scientific methods in autism diagnosis gone hand-in-hand with autism increases? Are mild autism cases really a 'disorder, ' rather than personality variant? Can autism be quiescent in childhood but truly first recognizable in adulthood? Why does popular media often portray people with autism as odd geniuses ignoring the kind of autism most have? Siegel tackles thorny issues and perennial questions: How do we weigh likely treatment gains with treatment costs? Why does our autism education persist in teaching academic subjects some never master? Why do we fail to plan realistically for autistic adulthood? Which parents get caught up in non-mainstream 'treatments' and fear of vaccines? Readers will see an insider's view of controversies in autism research. Siegel's views, sometimes iconoclastic, always frank and informed, challenge broad unexamined assumptions about our understanding of autism. Each chapter addresses different issues, data, and social policy recommendations. A chapter-by-chapter bibliography with URLs provides both popular media and scientific references.Binding Type: Hardcover

Cute but could use some pockets
Special Size: 6" Inseam Contrast Trim without Pockets, Size: Small, Color: Navy/White
Obsessed with these shorts. They are so cute and comfy. They fit true to size and I love that there is a matching top you can buy separately. I feel like the material is pretty thick and I don't have to worry about it being see through. My only complaint is that there are no pockets.

Nice fabric
Special Size: 7" Inseam with Pockets, Size: X-Large, Color: Taupe
These are well made. The fabric is perfect! Not thin. I was disappointed that I ordered a size that was too large. I had to return. I need to get updated body measurements before reordering.
