Understanding Autism, a social history of the expanding diagnostic category of this contested illness, takes a close look at the role of emotion--specifically, of parental love--in the intense and passionate work of biomedical communities investigating autism. Chloe Silverman tracks developments in autism theory and practice over the past half-century and shows how an understanding of autism has been constituted and stabilized through vital efforts of schools, gene banks, professional associations, government committees, parent networks, and treatment conferences. She examines the love and labor of parents, who play a role in developing--in conjunction with medical experts--new forms of treatment and therapy for their children. While biomedical knowledge is dispersed through an emotionally neutral, technical language that separates experts from laypeople, parental advocacy and activism call these distinctions into question. Silverman reveals how parental care has been a constant driver in the volatile field of autism research and treatment, and has served as an inspiration for scientific change. Recognizing the importance of parental knowledge and observations in treating autism, this book reveals that effective responses to the disorder demonstrate the mutual interdependence of love and science. 606 $aAutism in children 606 $aParents of autistic children 606 $aAutistic children$xFamily relationships 606 $aAutism in children$xTreatment 610 $aAsperger syndrome. 610 $aAutism Diagnostic Interview. 610 $aAutism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. 610 $aBruno Bettelheim. 610 $aCure Autism Now Foundation. 610 $aNational Alliance for Autism Research. 610 $aUniversity of Chicago. 610 $aaffect. 610 $aamateur therapists. 610 $aautism diagnosis. 610 $aautism genetics. 610 $aautism research. 610 $aautism theory. 610 $aautism. 610 $aautistic children. 610 $abehavior modification techniques. 610 $abiomedical knowledge. 610 $abiomedical research. 610 $abiomedical treatments. 610 $abiomedicine. 610 $abiosociality. 610 $acaregivers. 610 $acausation. 610 $achildhood vaccines. 610 $acontested illnesses. 610 $acounselors. 610 $adiagnostic criteria. 610 $aego development. 610 $aemotion. 610 $aepidemiological surveys. 610 $agenetic research. 610 $aknowledge production. 610 $alove. 610 $amoral personhood. 610 $aparental care. 610 $aparental love. 610 $aparents. 610 $apersuasion. 610 $apsychotherapy. 610 $ascience studies. 610 $ascreening instruments. 610 $asemiprofessionals. 610 $atesting instruments. 610 $atherapy. 610 $atreatment practices. 610 $atreatment. 615 0$aAutism in children. 615 0$aParents of autistic children. 615 0$aAutistic children$xFamily relationships. 615 0$aAutism in children$xTreatment. 676 $a618.9285882 700 $aSilverman$b Chloe$01492194 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789717403321 996 $aUnderstanding autism$93714523 997 $aUNINA
