- Summary:
- "Jeanne Simons devoted her career as a social worker to the study, treatment, and care of children with autism. She established what is today called the Linwood Center in Ellicott City, Maryland. Developmental psychologist Sabine Oishi collaborated with Simons and learned that Simons herself was autistic and had not enjoyed childhood intervention, yet she had developed her own dissociative strategies as coping techniques. This is a biography of Simons, with commentary from Oishi and information about autism"-- Provided by publisher.
