What journey did Steve go on when writing Neurotribes? How was autism first developed? What is the Geek Syndrome?
In this episode of the Thoughty Auti Podcast, Thomas Henley is joined by Steve Silberman to talk about the history and future of autism - Steve is a multi-award winning writer, former writer for Wired and Ally Of The Year award winner for his contributions to the autistic community!
They start of the podcast talking about two authors Steve had involvement with during the development stages of their books - Alex Riley in A Cure For Darkness & Dara McAnulty in Diary Of A Young Naturalist - and the background to these standout writers.
With the daunting reality of COVID-19, Steve highlights the sly endorsements of eugenics during the pandemic, further exploring the affect COVID has had on the autistic people. In a welcome discussion, the two talk about the recent topic of self diagnosis and Steve’s recent award... the Samuel Johnson Prize.
Steve started his research into autism following a tech giant cruise across the Alaskan Panhandle where he met the renowned Larry Wall, the inventor of the innovative programming language PERL. In an investigative piece ‘The Geek Syndrome’ Steve ignored the ramblings of scared parents around the ‘epidemic of autism’ in Silicon Valley, pressing on to look at the strengths demonstrated by autistic tech entrepreneurs.
Steve became obsessed with autism and its complex history, pouring his heart, soul and money into the formation of Neurotribes. Highlighting the misconceptions around the conceptualisation of Aspergers Syndrome and the little known past of Asperger’s Jewish colleagues, the two delve into the developments that may lie in the future.
Thank you so much if you’ve listened through all the episodes; it’s been an amazing season and I’m definitely looking forward to bring you an even better season... very soon!

My condolences to Keith for the passing of his partner Steve Silberman. He was a beautiful person inside and out. ❤❤😢😢

This is excellent. I always love to hear the story from Steve again about Dr. Hans Asperger with his Jewish colleagues. It helps me very much (!) from getting worn down by the people who want to think black or white about Dr. Asperger. It has saved and boosted my mental health every time. Thank you Thomas and Steve. Thomas, I have subscribed, so if you do a next season, I will check it out.

NeuroTribes is my favorite book about Autism. Thank you! 💙 It's the only book written logically, objectively, appealing to the autistic understanding (and, I guess, the scientific minded). 👍👍

It’s really awesome! I love a good logical science based book 😅

What a coup getting this interview! Well handled and really fascinating. I read Neurotribes and found it to be the best book on autism that I have read. I could have listened to several more hours of you both talking. Thank you for such a great podcast.

This was very interesting and gave a lot of information that I as autistic didn't know.

Hey Thomas, thanks for the lovely interview! Steve is such a charismatic person, I've made a note for myself to read the book. Re self-diagnosis. As far as my understanding of your take on it goes, mine is similar. I think it's best to get the formal diagnosis if it is accessible and if the condition itself bothers an individual enough to be wanting to seek help. It's not that I'm against self-diagnosing/identifying as autistic, rather, what I'm not supporting is when people try to capitalise on their autistic identity (or an identity based on any other diagnosable condition) - and that is without being formally diagnosed.

Very interesting - thankyou. So the presenter said he is going to get the covid vaccine when he thinks he needs it. Is he going to wait until the day before another car ploughs into him before he gets car insurance? I hope for the sake of him and those around him he rethinks this real soon. Or, he said, he's waiting so more vulnerable people can get it before him - is there really a supply issue in UK?
