Description

An Emerald Guide to Creativity in Autism by Clare Lawrence

This book challenges common stereotypes about autism and language, suggesting that autistic individuals can bring new richness and originality to written communication. It explores two recent projects using the written word to explore autism: a shared reading of literature as a scaffold for discussion of autistic identity, and creative writing by a group of autistic adults.

Through these examples, Lawrence argues that creativity in autism extends beyond traditional areas like art and music, and can be found in the way people interact with words. This book shares these insights and discussions, offering a fresh perspective on the potential of language to inspire creativity and insight.
