In this book, psychologist and world renowned autism expert Simon Baron-Cohen puts forward a bold new theory: because we can identify patterns, specifically if-and-then patterns. And he argues that the genes for this unique ability overlap with the genes for autism.From the first musical instrument to the agricultural, industrial and digital revolutions, Baron-Cohen shows how this unique ability has driven human progress for 70,000 years. By linking one of our greatest human strengths with a condition that is so often misunderstood, The Pattern Seekers challenges us to think differently about those who think differently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929698107680,"sku":"NEW0241242185","price":225.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-pattern-seekers-a-new-theory-of-human-invention-0241242185","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
