In a Different Key: The Story of Autism
Author: John Donvan, Caren ZuckerPublishing Info: Hardcover 688 pages / January 2016Tags: autism rights, Donald Triplett, history of autism, Leo Kanner.Nearly seventy-five years ago, Donald Triplett of Forest, Mississippi, became the firstchild diagnosed with autism. Beginning with his family s odyssey, In a Different Key tells the extraordinary story of this often misunderstood condition, and of the civil rights battles waged by the families of those who have it. Unfolding over decades, it is a beautifully rendered history of ordinary people determined to secure a place in the world for those with autism by liberating children from dank institutions, campaigning for their right to go to school, challenging expert opinion on what it means to have autism, and persuading society to accept those who are different.
