What is Autism? Reflections from the Neurodiversity Paradigm
"Neurodiversity can be seen from three aspects: as a biological fact, as a paradigm and as a movement. As a paradigm, it teaches that there is no ""normal"" type of brain and that each brain type contributes to human biodiversity and creativity. In this book, Ernesto Reaño (psychologist and autistic) reflects on his work on autism from the paradigm of neurodiversity. Various topics are considered: the origin of autism, diagnosis, neurodiversity, myths and supposed cures, the role of caregivers, sexuality, adult life, electronality, trauma, autistic identity, among others."
