Reveals how cognitive differences are the constructing pieces in understanding those with Autism. Marlo Thurman proposes that sensory and cognitive development have evolved together into a very different form of intelligence in those with ASD, and it should be viewed not as a disability but instead as a difference to be celebrated and followed.
