Switched On by John Elder Robison
A Memoir of Brain Change and Emotional Awakening
A candid memoir by an autistic man who recounts his life, struggles, and strengths before undergoing an experimental brain-stimulation procedure that markedly increased his emotional responsiveness; the book mixes personal narrative with clear explanations of the science and ethics, showing how the treatment altered his personality, relationships, sensory world, and sense of self while probing difficult questions about medical intervention, neurodiversity, and what it means to change or be “fixed.”
