Consider NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman. Recommended by 2 sources.

“Silberman traces autism’s history from early research through modern debates, mixing archival reporting, interviews, and cultural history. What works best is a wide-angle timeline that links diagnostic changes, institutional practices, and grassroots advocacy, helping you see how public attitudes shifted. The main limitation is length and repetition: chapters sometimes restate points and tilt toward advocacy, so readers seeking neutral, concise summaries may feel the tone persuasive. Helpful for context and storytelling, but not a practical manual or checklist.”
