Abstract

Tracing Autism outlines a sociological account of research regarding neuroscientists and their practices with regard to working in the field of autism. This research was collated from interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Given the glowing endorsements of such luminaries as Nikolas Rose, I was looking forward to reading this text. Unfortunately, I was left not only unimpressed but somewhat dismayed by what I found.
