Description
A Mismatch of Salience brings together a range of Damian Milton's writings on the communication and understanding difficulties faced by individuals on the autism spectrum and neurotypical people. The book reframes the view of autistic people as a two-way mismatch of salience, rather than an impairment, and explores how our current knowledge has been shaped by non-autistic perspectives.
By celebrating diversity in communication styles and human experience, this collection aims to redress the balance in our understanding of autism and its impact on individuals and society. A Mismatch of Salience is a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human experience and the need for greater inclusivity and understanding.
With its unique perspective and insightful analysis, this book is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about autism and its effects on individuals and communities.
