The social, cultural, and political discourses of autism[electronic resource] /by Jessica Nina Lester, Michelle O'Reilly. - Dordrecht :Springer Netherlands :2021. - xiv, 199 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Education, equity, economy,2364-8368. - Education, equity, economy..

Introduction -- Chapter 1: What is autism - a medical understanding -- Chapter 2: Historical and social construction of disability -- Chapter 3: The social, cultural, and discursive construction of autism -- Chapter 4: Meaning(s) of autism -- Chapter 5: The economic framing of mental health -- Chapter 6: Stigma and disability -- Chapter 7: Autism and inequality -- Chapter 8: Navigating school and community spaces -- Chapter 9: Unpacking the myth of Autism -- Chapter 10: Conclusions.

Taking up a social constructionist position, this book illustrates the social and cultural construction of autism as made visible in everyday, educational, institutional and historical discourses, alongside a careful consideration of the bodily and material realities of embodied differences. The authors highlight the economic consequences of a disabling culture, and explore how autism fits within broader arguments related to normality, abnormality and stigma. To do this, they provide a theoretically and historically grounded discussion of autism-one designed to layer and complicate the discussions that surround autism and disability in schools, health clinics, and society writ large. In addition, they locate this discussion across two contexts - the US and the UK - and draw upon empirical examples to illustrate the key points. Located at the intersection of critical disability studies and discourse studies, the book offers a critical reframing of autism and childhood mental health disorders more generally.
