Description
The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Autism Studies by Damian Milton and Sara Ryan provides an authoritative overview of Critical Autism Studies. This comprehensive handbook explores different kinds of knowledge, their similarities and differences across cultural contexts, and the tensions within this subdiscipline. Divided into four parts, it delves into areas such as education, critical race theory, domestic violence and abuse, sexuality, biopolitics, health, and social care practices. With 24 newly commissioned chapters written by academics and activists, this handbook offers a nuanced understanding of autism and its impact on individuals and communities. This book will be of interest to scholars and students studying disability studies, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, education, health, social care, and political science.
