<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this volume, inspired by the ideas of Uta Frith, the internationally known psychologist and a pioneer in theory of mind as it relates to autism, Vermeulen explains in everyday terms how the autistic brain functions with a particular emphasis on the apparent lack of sensitivity to and awareness of the context in which things happen.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Peter Vermeulen brings a truly refreshing perspective to autism and thus sheds new light on our still blurry vision of this perennially fascinating condition. His wonderfully embracing concept of 'context blindness' provides a powerful explanation of the varied features of autism spectrum disorders." -- Uta Firth, world expert on autism, developmental psychologist and professor "Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Dept. of Psychology, University College, London"<br>
