商品描述

This expanded second edition of Mitzi Waltz's Autism: A Social and Medical History offers an in-depth examination of how the condition was perceived before it became a separate area of investigation, and how autism has been conceptualised and treated since. As well as strengthening the existing text, Waltz has added material on a number of topics that have received increased attention since the first edition, including the rise of the anti-vaccination movement, the shift towards genetic and genomic research, and the progress of the autism self-advocacy movement.

The author examines these issues through the perspective of what they mean for autistic people, clinicians and society, and looks at the challenges still faced by autistic people. Waltz also looks at the increased autism diagnosis among girls and women, and how autism has been represented in traditional media and social media. The book includes information from interviews with key researchers, parents of autistic children and people with autism.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本 Mitzi Waltz 的《自閉症：社會與醫療歷史》擴充版第二版，深入探討了在自閉症成為一個獨立研究領域之前，這一狀況是如何被看待的，以及自閉症自那時以來是如何被概念化和治療的。除了加強現有文本外，Waltz 還新增了許多自第一版以來受到更多關注的主題，包括反疫苗運動的興起、向基因和基因組研究的轉變，以及自閉症自我倡導運動的進展。

作者從自閉症患者、臨床醫生和社會的角度來檢視這些議題，並探討自閉症患者仍面臨的挑戰。Waltz 也關注到女性和女孩中自閉症診斷的增加，以及自閉症在傳統媒體和社交媒體中的表現。書中包含了與關鍵研究人員、自閉症兒童的父母以及自閉症患者的訪談資訊。
