Neurodiversity: The Birth of an Idea

£0.00

Judy Singer (2017)

Judy Singer is generally credited with the first academic use of the term Neurodiversity. This is her 1998 Honours thesis, which maps out the early stages of Neurodiversity and Neurodivergence. Building on the disability rights movement at the time. The work draws on post-modernism, social constructivism, feminism, and disability rights. The work encompasses a brief history of Autism, a self-exploration of Singer’s life as one of three generations of Autistic women, and her research on InLv, an online Autistic community. Singer offers a critique of what she perceived to be issues within the disability rights movement that limited the creation of a new paradigm.
