Summary

The work of queer, autistic scholar Nick Walker has played a key role in the evolving discourse on human neurodiversity.

Neuroqueer Heresies collects a decade's worth of Dr. Walker's most influential writings, along with new commentary by the author and new material on her radical conceptualization of Neuroqueer Theory.

This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the foundations, terminology, implications, and leading edges of the emerging neurodiversity paradigm.

this hosted some fascinating and new ideas, and I really loved the breakdown of the pathology paradigm. however the author does at many stages come across with an attitude of 'I'm better than everyone else'. once I noticed this I found it hard to listen. still some great ideas and a good read.

fascinating if preachy
