Authoring Autism: On Rhetoric and Neurological Queerness
£0.00
M. Remi Yergeau (2018)
In Authoring Autism, M. Remi Yergeau argues that autism is not a disorder but a form of identity—what they call "neuroqueerness." Using queer theory, they challenge stereotypes and traditional views that portray autistic people as passive or lacking communication skills, instead showing that autistic people have unique and powerful ways of expressing themselves. Yergeau critiques harmful interventions like behavioural therapy and calls for a rethinking of how we understand communication, identity, and agency through an autistic lens.
