Autism, a concept that barely existed 75 years ago, currently feeds multiple, multi-billion-dollar-a-year, global industries. In this work, the author analyzes how we got from the 11 children first identified by Leo Kanner in 1943 as "autistic" to the billion dollar autism industries that are booming today. Broderick argues that, within the Autism Industrial Compex (AIC), almost anyone can capitalize on autism, and she shows us how.
