Autism Is Not a Disease – The Politics of Neurodiversity

"Autism Is Not a Disease – The Politics of Neurodiversity" is a book offering a contemporary perspective on autism and the concept of neurodiversity, challenging the idea that neurological differences should be seen only as disorders to be treated. Instead, the book argues that autistic people represent a natural form of human diversity, with unique ways of thinking, learning and experiencing the world.

Through analysis, examples and discussion of public policy, Jodie Hare explains how the neurodiversity approach has changed the way society understands autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The book addresses topics such as inclusion in education, employment, health services, protecting the rights of autistic people and the importance of building a more inclusive society.
