We wish to draw your attention to the upcoming release of the wonderful historian Dr. Marga Vicedo's new book "Intelligent love: the story of Clara Park, her autistic daughter and the myth of the refrigerator mother."
"Intelligent Love examines the history of autism in the US through the story of Clara Park and her daughter Jessica. Clara Park was the first layperson who challenged the widespread view among psychiatrists and psychologists that cold, intellectual mothers pushed their children into autism.

In her writings, Park addressed issues of long standing interest to historians of science such as the nature of evidence, the separation of the emotions and the intellect, the value of narrative accounts and experiential knowledge in medicine, and the importance of collaboration between medical experts and disabled people and their families."
