Andrew Wakefield reveals the inside story of desperate parents trying to help their autistic children, only to be labeled as abusers by social workers, medical professionals, and the courts. As the number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders grows each year, new discoveries and controversies arise. Andrew Wakefield explores many of these in his thorough investigation of the recent trial case of the “Arizona 5,” which destroyed an Arizona family.

This collection of narratives from autistic adults is structured around their decades of experience of life, covering 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60 and 70s+.

Each chapter is based on accounts from one age group and includes accounts from people of that age, giving an insight into the history of autism and signifying how gaining a diagnosis (or not) has changed people's lives over time.

Given the great deal of attention paid to music and autism, it is surprising to discover that autistic people have rarely been asked to account for how they themselves make and experience music or why it matters to them that they do. In Speaking for Ourselves, renowned ethnomusicologist Michael Bakan does just that, engaging in deep conversations - some spanning the course of years - with 10 fascinating and very different individuals who share two basic things in common: an autism spectrum diagnosis and a life in which music plays a central part.

Een blik in het brein van Poetin en andere potentaten. Vladimir Poetin houdt van geschiedenis. Zijn vurige redevoeringen zitten er vol mee. Velen verklaren hem voor gek, maar in vaardige handen is het verleden een wapen zonder weerga. Xi Jinping, Recep Tayyip Erdogan en andere ambitieuze leiders weten dat ook en maken er sluw gebruik van. Dat gebeurt wereldwijd. Ook in het Westen. In De macht van het verleden legt Ivo van de Wijdeven haarfijn uit hoe politici en potentaten de geschiedenis gebruiken. Daarmee geeft hij tevens inzage in de diepere drijfveren van machthebbers. Hun visie op het verleden stuurt hun handelen in het heden. De macht van het verleden werkt twee kanten op. Hoogste tijd om die macht onder de loep te nemen.

Wie het heden én de toekomst wil begrijpen, kan niet om de geschiedenis heen. Europa heeft een lange en roerige voorgeschiedenis met zijn buren. Waar de geografische grenzen al sinds mensenheugenis vastliggen, zijn de door de mens getrokken staatsgrenzen vrijwel voortdurend verschoven. Kijk maar naar Polen, het 'land op wieltjes' dat heen en weer schoof en zelfs lange tijd van de kaart verdween. Of naar het koloniale tijdperk, waarin de Europeanen in Afrika, Azië en het Midden-Oosten de dienst uitmaakten en willekeurig grenzen trokken, wat leidde tot gruwelijke oorlogen. De randen van Europa zijn al veel langer rafelig.

An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis.

Hoe bespaart een vliegje in een wc duizenden euro's aan schoonmaakkosten? Hoe zorgde een stipje ervoor dat duizenden Nederlandse studenten veel te veel geld leenden? En hoe scoren vrouwenversierders met behulp van drogerpluis? Als iets schijnbaar kleins ongemerkt grote invloed heeft op ons gedrag heet dat het bromvliegeffect. En het treedt veel vaker op dan je denkt.

Bestseller over cijfers en feiten. Wat is nu de gemiddelde levensverwachting in de wereld? Hoeveel meisjes maken de basisschool af? Welk percentage van de wereldbevolking leeft in armoede? Op eenvoudige vragen over wereldwijde trends geven we systematisch de verkeerde antwoorden. Het is zelfs zo erg dat een chimpansee die willekeurig antwoorden kiest consequent leraren, journalisten, Nobelprijswinnaars en studenten overtreft. In Feitenkennis legt hoogleraar Internationale Gezondheid en wereldfenomeen Hans Rosling uit waarom dit gebeurt.

I'm Ryan, and I have Autism. From the Spectrum is a podcast about Autism. I am on a mission to explain Autism. Autism emerges in human evolution as a biological adaptation, possibly through neuroplasticity, responding to environmental shifts that harness light’s energy for life. Maybe, people fail to understand how living organisms use the energy from light to drive biochemistry and organize our biology. For each episode, we will discuss various aspects of Autism. At times, we can cover lots of what seems like complex biology and especially neuroscience, but I hope to convey an easy to ...
