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.

Paperback. Etat : Good. 263 pages. Text tanned Leading psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen confirms what most of us had suspecte d all along: that male and female brains are different. This groundbreaking and controversial book reveals the scientific evidence (present even in one-day-old babies) which proves that female-type brains are better at empathizing and commu nicating, while male brains are stronger at understanding and building systems - not just computers and machinery, but abstract systems such as politics and mus ic. Filled with surprising and illuminating case studies, many from Baron-Cohen 's own clinical practice, The Essential Difference moves beyond the stereotypes to elucidate over twenty years of pioneering research. From gossip to aggression , Baron-Cohen dissects each brain type and even presents a revolutionary new the ory that autism (and its close relative, Asperger's syndrome) is actually an exa mple of the extreme male brain. His theory can explain why those who live with t his condition are brilliant at analyzing the most complex systems, yet cannot re late to the emotional lives of those closest to them.
