Critics Review
‘Lorenz Wagner’s book on the remarkable Markrams is, well, remarkable. This is an extraordinary story of noted neuroscientists seeing the world through the eyes of their ASD son, and then helping change the way autism is seen and treated far and wide.
A tale of love, constancy and groundbreaking research.’
- Ron Suskind, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Life, Animated, A Story of Sidekicks, Heroes and Autism
