Autism Is Not A Disease: The Politics of Neurodiversity

This book explores creating more neuro-inclusive society.Neurodiversity is a pressing political issue. As diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergences rise, we realize there’s no ‘normal’ brain. Society remains organized around neuronormativity, treating autism as a disease.

Author Jodie Hare, diagnosed with autism at twenty-three, argues redefining our politics is urgent. She calls for recognizing diversity as natural variation. This impacts learning, work, and socialization, and Hare shows how to adapt them for inclusivity. She envisions a world where we can thrive, combating discrimination based on race, class, gender, and disability.
