The Pattern Seekers

Discover how autism has contributed to human progress over the past seventy thousand years in The Pattern Seekers by acclaimed psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen. Baron-Cohen argues that people with autism possess crucial pattern-seeking abilities that have shaped our culture and fueled every great discovery, from the first tools to the digital revolution. However, these abilities come at a great cost to autistic individuals, so The Pattern Seekers encourages society to support and celebrate neurodiversity. This thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective on human history and reminds us to embrace those who think differently.
