“NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity” by Steve Silberman
"Autism has always been part of the human community. The reason we don’t think so is because autistic people were kept behind the walls of institutions for most of the 20th century, or they got no diagnosis at all." Per @stevesilberman.bsky.social

10th Anniversary Edition of NeuroTribes. To say that seeing the first copy of this was bittersweet is an immense understatement.

Steve Silberman's groundbreaking book NeuroTribes, which fully debunked any story of an "autism epidemic," is 10 years old this summer. The answer has been out there for a decade. He'd be LIVID about this.
RFK Jr: "By September we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures."

Thanks to Stephen Barncard for this wonderful photo of me signing the first copy of my book "NeuroTribes" for David Crosby backstage at his show at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on April 11, 2015. One of the best nights of my life.

Today is a good day to buy a copy of Steve’s book.
Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.
Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol.
It's like his work never happened.

If only @stevesilberman.bsky.social was still with us. His amazing book Neurotribes argues that much of the scientific and cultural innovation we completely take for granted was created by people on the spectrum.

Well, this totally made my day. Thank you Neil, and best wishes to everyone who reads "NeuroTribes" seeking to understand certain family members, friends, and co-workers better.
I have a beloved copy here, that I bought originally in order to better understand certain family members.

I oscillate daily between wishing we still have Steve Silberman's voice to offer some moral clarity in the midst of RFK Jr.'s lies about autism and thinking "Thank God Steve isn't alive to see this." NeuroTribes was an essential book for me understanding myself. I miss my friend so much.
NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman feels like one of the most important books to read in the moment. Our autistic brothers and sisters are facing a wave of persecution from RFK Jr. and his Woo Thugs, gotta educate ourselves so we can stand up for them.
I have shallow knowledge of South Asian history so The Vortex by Scott Carney and Jason Miklian was a revelation. I had no idea Bangladeshi independence was intertwined with so many critical world events, even nuclear brinksmanship. Check it out, audiobook is available from Brooklyn Public Library!

Grateful to @autisticadvocacy.bsky.social for the gala's moment of silence to honor our beloved, empathetic @stevesilberman.bsky.social—who described writing NeuroTribes "as an expression of the traditional Jewish mission of tikkun olam—'to heal the broken world.'"
