Neurotribes: Thinking Smarter About Difference with Steve Silberman - NNF16

After 70 years of research on autism, why do we still seem to know so little about it? Winner of the 2015 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non- Fiction, Neurotribes is a Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller that upends conventional thinking about autism and suggests a broader model for acceptance, understanding and full participation in society for people who think differently. Award-winning investigative reporter Steve Silberman’s pioneering viewpoint will change the ways we think not just about autism, but also about creativity and innovation. This event will be chaired by poet Joanne Limburg. Part of the City of Literature programme at Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2016.
