"The Pattern-Seekers" by Simon Baron-Cohen seeks to challenge our misunderstandings about autism and posits a brand-new theory of human invention that highlights brilliance born out of thinking differently.

The acclaimed British psychologist and autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen has a bold theory connected to the human ability to identify if- and then-patterns. This ability is unique to humankind and Baron-Cohen thinks the genes for it overlap with the genes for autism. Progress, inventions and revolutions for the past 70,000 years is thus linked to an often maligned condition: autism.

"The Pattern-Seekers" by Simon Baron-Cohen is an incredible and inspiring book about the human condition, that argues that autism has been a driving force behind cultural progress ever since the first creation of tools.
By showing the hidden truth about innovations throughout history, Baron-Cohen asks everyone to celebrate cognitive diversity and the amazing possibilities that comes with autism, rather than focus on the trials and tribulations experienced by autistic people.
