Geeks, Genes, and the Evolution of Asperger Syndrome

In this unusual book an evolutionary anthropologist and her coauthor/granddaughter, who has Asperger syndrome, examine the emergence and spread of Asperger syndrome and other forms of high-functioning autism. Falk theorizes that many characteristics associated with Asperger syndrome are by-products of the evolution of advanced mental processing.
