ISBN: 9798188685751 - simon baron-cohen, autism, and beyond: surprising findings, necessary controversies, and a transforming science: from deficit to neurodiversity (5 Ergebnisse)

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What remains of the man who rewrote the science of autism - and what did he miss For nearly forty years, Simon Baron-Cohen has been one of the most influential - and most debated - figures in autism research. Theory of mind, 'mindblindness,' the Extreme Male Brain Theory, fetal testosterone, systemizing, neurodiversity: each of these concepts changed the way we talk about, diagnose, and understand autistic minds. Some opened doors. Others, over time, began to show their cracks. This book traces that complete trajectory - from the Sally-Anne experiment to current debates about the social model of disability - covering the 4:1 ratio of male-to-female diagnoses, camouflaging in autistic women, monotropism, the double empathy problem, and the increasingly central role of autistic people themselves in producing knowledge about their own minds. Written by an autistic researcher and university lecturer with two INSAR Awards, trained between the Andes of Argentina, Madrid, and Barcelona, with over two decades of close work in the autism field, this book combines academic rigor with a critical and honest perspective: neither hagiography nor demolition, but a necessary reckoning with light and shadow. In this book you will find: - The history of autism before Baron-Cohen - from Bleuler and Grunya Sukhareva to Kanner, Asperger, and the damaging 'refrigerator mother' theory- The Sally-Anne experiment and the birth of 'mindblindness'- The Extreme Male Brain Theory: its promises, limits, and controversies- The Cambridge fetal testosterone project and the trap of linear causality- Gender, camouflage, and why so many autistic women 'disappear' from the statistics- Systemizing as a cognitive engine and its relationship to human invention- Theories born from the autistic community itself: monotropism and the double empathy problem- The shift from the medical model to the neurodiversity paradigm, with its convergences and tensions- A final assessment of Baron-Cohen's legacy and an unfinished agenda for autism scienceEssential reading for psychologists, educators, students of psychology and cognitive science, healthcare professionals, families of autistic people, and anyone - autistic or not - who wants to understand where the ideas that shape how we talk about autism come from, and think independently about where they should go.…
