The Pattern Seekers
Book • 2020
In 'The Pattern Seekers', Simon Baron-Cohen argues that the same genes contributing to autism enable a unique pattern-seeking ability essential for human inventiveness.
He explores how this ability has driven human progress from ancient tools to the digital revolution, while also highlighting the challenges faced by autistic individuals and advocating for better societal support.
