This book is written at a time of a paradigm shift in the African
continent where dependence on western epistemologies and ontologies
are giving way to African indigenous knowledge systems. Africa has
been an importer of knowledge from the west since time immemorial
and this book contributes to the body of knowledge on autism
spectrum disorder (ASD) from the African perspective. As a result,
decoloniality and Inclusive Education have gained traction within
the academic discourse, with University of South Africa (UNISA)
hosting decoloniality annual conference and a summer school to
stimulate academic discussions and debates with a focus on African
indigenous knowledge systems and theoretical lenses as opposed to
the western epistemologies. The book also demystifies some of the
misconceptions that children with ASD are a curse and punishment
from God or gods. Among others, Ubuntu seems to be the dominant
theoretical framework underpinning some of the research studies
reported in this book.
