Autism Is the Future Summary

Autism Is the Future: The Evolution of a Different Type of Intelligence by Marlo Payne Thurman

In Autism Is the Future, Marlo Thurman reveals how cognitive differences are the constructing pieces in understanding those with Autism. Through her findings, she shows how those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) constantly challenge assumptions about intelligence and measuring intelligence. 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.

Autism Is the Future Reviews

As both a clinician who works with individuals identified as autistic and a parent of a teenage son on the spectrum, I'm always looking for new insights. Honestly, this is one of the best books about autism I've read recently. Throughout, the author challenges commonly held beliefs about how autism "works" and how we should "treat" it."Sandra Kirchner

About Marlo Payne Thurman

Marlo Payne Thurman began work with children diagnosed with ASD in 1986. With group home management and intensive ABA therapy in her early career, she developed a special interest in meeting the unique needs of those individuals who were asynchronously developed into the realms of the ""ASD savant."" Marlo has been recognized for her work by People Magazine, The Special Educator, ADDitude Magazine, The New York Times, and National Public Radio as well as numerous local venues. Most recently, Marlo completed a landmark study proposing an alternative sensory-cognitive difference theory based on her extensive discussions and interactions with diagnosed adults. This research was the foundation for this book. Marlo lives in Johnstown, Colorado. In addition to several quirky close friends and family members, Ms. Thurman credits her two adult children for teaching her about the value and beauty of being ""different-minded.
