Description
This book challenges the universality of propositions about human nature by questioning the boundaries between predominant neurotypes and 'others', including dyslexics, autistics and ADHDers. It brings together cutting-edge research from various disciplines to explore the concept of neurodiversity.
The volume offers in-depth analyses of themes such as neurodivergent wellbeing, cross-neurotype communication, and challenging brain-bound cognition, as well as the role of neuro-normativity in theorising agency. It proposes a new field of enquiry that seeks to support the inclusion of neurodivergent perspectives in knowledge production.
By working at the intersection of sociology, critical psychology, medical humanities, and critical disability studies, this book contributes to a cultural imperative to redefine what it means to be human. A chapter is available as a free downloadable Open Access PDF.
