Steve Silberman's Neurotribes provides a comprehensive history of autism, tracing how the condition has been understood, diagnosed, and lived throughout the twentieth century and into the present day. The book combines rigorous historical research with personal narratives from autistic individuals, exploring neurodiversity and challenging conventional perspectives on neurological difference and disability. His follow-up work, Not By Chance, presents stories of personal determination across various contexts. Silberman's approach emphasises individual agency and the complexity of lived experience. His work appeals to readers seeking deep historical context, personal accounts of neurodiversity, neuroscience education, and thoughtful examinations of how society understands neurological and developmental difference.
