In probably his last recorded interview held in May 2024, science journalist Steve Silberman discusses everything autism, from its history to savant syndrome. And he does so with the refreshing clarity, knowledge, and insight that made him one the best informed people about the condition. I regret that Steve did not have a chance to see the podcast before its release as he sadly passed away on 28 August 2024. I hope this will be a lasting tribute to his legacy.
