The Greatest Good

How much do we know about the mind, and is an autistic mind truly different? Professor Philip Schofield and Dr Sarah White, Associate Professor at UCL’s Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, answer these questions as they take a forensic look at the brain, and challenge outdated medical models and stereotypes of autism. This is essential listening for anyone interested in the intersections of philosophy, psychology and disability rights.
