Judy Singer is generally credited with the coinage of the word that became the banner for the last great social movement to emerge from the 20th century.
The word itself was just one of many ideas in this work, her 1998 Honours thesis, a pioneering sociological work that mapped out the emergence of a new category of disability that, till then, had no name. And in the process, prefigured a new paradigm within the disability rights movement of the time.
The work attempted a panoramic view of this new terrain from within a post-modern, social constructionist, feminist, disability rights perspective. Its chapters encompassed a brief history of autism, self-exploration of Singer’s life in the middle of three generations of women “somewhere on the autistic spectrum” and her research as a participant-observer on InLv, an online community of people on the spectrum. At the same time it offered a critique of what Singer perceived to be a certain tendency towards social-constructionist fundamentalism within the disability movement, which, she argued, limited the potential of the new paradigm.
This volume reproduces the original thesis with the addition of a new introduction, which gives the background to the creation of the work and offers some thoughts on the current neurodiversity movement.

The Aspergers Spectrum Individuals in Our Midst

Reviewed in Australia on 26 October 2016

Like myself, many or most people have individuals in their lves who have a place on the Aspergers Spectrum. This book gives us a valable insight nto this personality type and , more particularly , it remnds us that, where it is not actually disablng, it can be regarded as a gift. For that, society and medical professinals need to demonstrate insight and compassion. Essential reading.

Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity in it's fullest positive meanings which is refreshing after certain groups seems to want to disprove and work actively against the concept without truly understanding the meaning in it's whole form. Neurodiversity is the future.
Highly recommended

Indispensável! Não existe melhor forma de começar a estudar sobre neurodiversidade, deveria ser leitura obrigatória em faculdades e escolas. Principalmente para profissionais de educação e saúde.
Sem tirar o benefício que traz para pessoas neurodiversas como eu, ter um livro tão descritivo e acolhedor

Judy Singer's book has clarified so much that mystified me about human beings, abilities, disabilities, societies, mental health and illness.

I'm shouting out to everyone: Read This Book. It will assist us all, regardless of what our situations are, to understand and embrace the neurodiversity that brings us all together.
