Taking up a social constructionist position, this book illustrates
the social and cultural construction of autism as made visible in
everyday, educational, institutional and historical discourses,
alongside a careful consideration of the bodily and material
realities of embodied differences. The authors highlight the
economic consequences of a disabling culture, and explore how
autism fits within broader arguments related to normality,
abnormality and stigma. To do this, they provide a theoretically
and historically grounded discussion of autism-one designed to
layer and complicate the discussions that surround autism and
disability in schools, health clinics, and society writ large. In
addition, they locate this discussion across two contexts - the US
and the UK - and draw upon empirical examples to illustrate the key
points. Located at the intersection of critical disability studies
and discourse studies, the book offers a critical reframing of
autism and childhood mental health disorders more generally.
