Routledge Autism and Representation - Media Studies Book

Explore the intersection of neurodiversity and media with Autism and Representation from the Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies series. While medical research has long focused on the clinical aspects of autism, this scholarly volume addresses the gap in the humanities and Disability Studies. This book brings together academic scholars and adults on the autism spectrum to examine how autism is portrayed across various mediums. By looking at novels, poems, autobiographies, films, and clinical discourses, the text provides a deep look into how this neuro-developmental disability is presented to the world. It is an essential resource for those studying how cultural narratives shape our understanding of disability and identity in modern society.
