About the book

Simon Baron-Cohen shows that, indisputably, on average Male and Female minds are of a slightly different character.Men tend to be better at analysing systems (better systemisers) while women tend to be better at reading the emotions of other people (better empathisers).Baron-Cohen show that this distinction arises from biology, not culture.The extreme male brain is what we describe as autism.
