The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Autism Studies

This handbook, the first of its kind, provides an authoritative and up-to-date overview of Critical Autism Studies and explores the different kinds of knowledges and their articulations, similarities and differences across cultural contexts and key tensions within this sub-discipline.
Critical Autism Studies is a developing area occupying an exciting space of development within learning and teaching in Higher Education. It has strong trajectory within the autistic academic and advocate community in resistance and response to the persistence of autism retaining an identity as a genetic disorder of the brain.
Divided into four parts
* Conceptualising Autism
* Autistic Identity
* Community and Culture
* Practice
and comprised of 29 newly commissioned chapters written by academics and activists, it explores areas of education, Critical Race Theory, domestic violence and abuse, sexuality, biopolitics, health and social care practices.
It will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, education, health, social care and political science.
