Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book is a landmark, foundational text chronicling the birth andevolution of a new civil rights movement in the thoughts and words ofthe folks who made it happen. It should immediately be taught in anycourses that touch upon autism, neurodiversity, and the history of thedisability rights movement, and is destined to be regarded as a classicdescription of oppressed and marginalized people fighting their waytoward autonomy and self-determination." (Steve Silberman, author ofNeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity)
"This volume will be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand theseismic shift in thinking about autism brought about by theneurodiversity movement. Embodying the disability rights motto, 'nothing about us without us', this collection of 19 chapters by autisticactivists charts the formation, growth and influence of autisticself-advocacy and the neurodiversity movement. Steven Kapp hasbrilliantly edited and crafted a volume that challenges, informs andenlightens, while not shying away from controversies and debates."(Professor Francesca Happé FBA FMedSci, Professor of CognitiveNeuroscience, King's College London, Past-President of InternationalSociety for Autism Research)

“Autistic advocates and the neurodiversity movement have radically changed understandings of autism across the world. In this outstanding collection, Steven Kapp brings together a collection of some of the most powerful campaigners to describe how they have achieved so much. Their accounts provide a vital reminder of the fundamental importance of their work and of the struggles that continue to this day. Everyone with an interest in autism and in justice should read it.” (Professor Liz Pellicano, Department of Educational Studies, Macquarie University, Australia)

I would regard this book as essential reading for anyone researching autism in a scholarly capacity, and I also highly recommend it to any people, autistic or otherwise, who are interested in learning about the origins of the autistic community and/or neurodiversity idea.
