Our panel will offer perspectives from neuroscience, history and philosophy on autism: How has our understanding of autism evolved? Why is autism so often linked with scientific and mathematical talent? Does this mean that some minds are \u2018wired\u2019 for science (and others not)? Is autism really a disorder, or just an aspect of human \u2018neurodiversity\u2019?<\/p>\n
