As the phenomenon grows,  parents and specialists are baffled by the  staggering range of the autism spectrum and  frustrated by the absence of a cure. While theories  abound and various therapies and diets help, experts  have yet to find the cause of autism.  But what if autism can be viewed not only from a  scientific standpoint, but also from a narrative  standpoint?  \"The Myth of Autism\" explores this mysterious  disorder through the lens of metabletics, a little- known school of psychology that focuses on  understanding various conditions in light of their  wider social, cultural, and historical contexts.  Interpreting autism as an expression of the  condition of modern Western culture as a whole, the  author traces its roots to the 15th-century advent  of linear perspective vision. Using important  narrative works--from \"Hamlet\" to \"Fight Club\"--to  explore the psychological effects of l.p.v. on the  soul of modern man, he helps readers to see autism  not as an epidemic, but as part of a story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838357256\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAutism as a Story of Our Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838357256","offer_id":39498951753821,"sku":"9783838357256","price":68.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/6d001c7b-51d5-4a5c-b1a1-602dcba31dc7.jpg?v=1737182054","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-myth-of-autism-von-daniel-crofts","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
