Autism and Us: Old As Time: A Social History of Autism

Autism and Us: Autism Old As Time, is a collection of essays written to take the reader on a journey through history, examining the impact of autism on the opinions and solutions of writers, poets, and other prominent individuals from the early 19th century through today. While her first book described raising Temple, this book describes the journey that Ms. Cutler took as she came to terms with autism in her life and saw our ever-evolving capacity, as individuals and as a society, to keep re-inventing ourselves. She looks at autism from the point of view of the phoenix: that ancient symbol of culture renewing itself.
