Join Cambridge in America (CAm) for The Pattern Seekers: How autism drives human invention, a book talk with Professor Simon Baron-Cohen.
Professor Baron-Cohen will discuss new evidence that reveals the link between the autistic mind and the capacity for invention. Society owes a huge debt to people with autism for the contribution that their genes play in driving the evolution of human progress, and yet autistic people are excluded from society. It’s time to redress this.
We look forward to welcoming you!
