- Abstract:
- Have cognitive scientists misread autism? What happens if, instead of simply accepting such research, literary critics turned to the actual prose and poetry written by autistic authors, such as Tito Mukhopadhyay and Donna Williams? Literary theory may never be the same once it comes to terms with neurodiversity.
- Notes:
- Lisa Zunshine interviews Ralph James Savarese, the author of some twenty-five articles on autism and an award-winning memoir Reasonable People, which Newsweek called "a real life love story and an urgent manifesto for the rights of people with neurological disabilities."
