Review:
I feel I must give the warning that the way most of the population with autism, and most people with mental disabilities, was awful until recently. This book is about that history. We have enough come a long way from what used to common in terms of care and treatment of this population, we still must continue to move forward. In order to do so I feel it necessary to learn the history. This is a great place to start.
This is respectfully told, as respectful as possible considering the horrors of the past. There is a lot to be learned here. Much of the population that has eerie cedar these things are still around, this helps to understand the reasoning behind so much of what I experience when working with my older individuals at work. I really like that this big book was not filled with a ton of medical information.
I really recommend this book to anyone interested in this subject.
