LIVRO The Big Bang Theory and Asperger’s Syndrome (Medicine in Television Series) (English Edition) PDF Ramon Cererols

The Big Bang Theory is a sitcom that plays on the contrasting perspectives of a group of friends (Sheldon and Leonard, physicists; Howard, a space engineer; and Raj, an astrophysicist) and their partners (Penny, a waitress and later a sales agent; Amy, a neuroscientíst; and Bernadette, a microbiologist). The series began airing in 2007 and to date (February 2015) is in its eighth season, after more than 170 episodes. The show’s central figure is Sheldon Cooper, a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology, with two doctorates (the first obtained at 16) and a master’s, with an IQ of 187, who at the age of five was already writing scientific articles on his notepad. This towering scientific intellect contrasts with many other traits commonly associated with Asperger’s syndrome.
