Volume 1. No. 2 AUTISTIC AUTHORS BOOKLIST AND FACTS October 28, 2013 By Amanda M Baggs Abstract: A list of autistic authors, previously published on autistics.org. This was originally part of the library of articles available on the Autistics.org web site and therefore the references are not to any particular academic style. Although the list is not up to date it is nonetheless worth wider publication as it contains a valuable number of references not to be found collected elsewhere, and it is the editors consideration that they should be more widely known. Autistic Authors Booklist and Facts Autistic Authors Booklist and Facts By Amanda M Baggs Last updated Sunday 25 June 2006. The following is a booklist of books by autistic authors, alphabetical by author's last name and then as close to chronological as possible. Most are in English, although there are some in other languages. There is a link to the author's website where possible, and in the event that the entire book is published on the web, there is a link to the book. This list does not include people speculated to be autistic, or closeted autistic people, only people who have published as autistic. Bill Gates and Einstein are not here, nor are people who have published books but are not openly autistic (I respect their privacy). Some items in this list are more articles than books, but have been published as if they are books. Some interesting facts about these books are listed below the booklist. Where determinable, books that don't mention autism will have the words "not autism-related" after them. Books by, or edited by, autistic people In anthologies, contributing authors are listed after the title, when they're known. Anthology contributors known to be autistic are in bold, but I may miss some unless I've read the book. Sean Barron 1.

    Gesnerus 77/2 (2020) 279–311, DOI: 10.24894/Gesn-de.2020.77012 Vom «autistischen Psychopathen» zum Autismusspektrum. Verhaltensdiagnostik und Persönlichkeitsbehauptung in der Geschichte des Autismus Rüdiger Graf Abstract Der Aufsatz untersucht das Verhältnis von Persönlichkeit und Verhalten in der Defi nition und Diagnostik des Autismus von Kanner und Asperger in den 1940er Jahren bis in die neueren Ausgaben des DSM und ICD. Dazu unter- scheidet er drei verschiedene epistemische Zugänge zum Autismus: ein exter- nes Wissen der dritten Person, das über Verhaltensbeobachtungen, Testver- fahren und Elterninterviews gewonnen wird; ein stärker praktisches Wissen der zweiten Person, das in der andauernden, alltäglichen Interaktion bei El- tern und Betreuer*innen entsteht, und schließlich das introspektive Wissen der ersten Person, d.h. der Autist*innen selbst. Dabei resultiert die Kerndif- ferenz in der Behandlung des Autismus daraus, ob man meint, die Persönlich- keit eines Menschen allein über die Beobachtung von Verhaltensweisen er- schließen zu können oder ob es sich um eine vorgängige Struktur handelt, die introspektiv zugänglich ist, Verhalten prägt und ihm Sinn verleihen kann. Die Entscheidung hierüber führt zu grundlegend anderen Positionierungen zu verhaltenstherapeutischen Ansätzen, wie insbesondere zu Ole Ivar Lovaas’ Applied Behavior Analysis.

    ‘I’M A JUGGLING ROBOT:’ AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE ORGANIZATION AND CULTURE OF AUTISM-BASED APPLIED BEHAVIOUR THERAPIES IN ONTARIO, CANADA JULIA GRUSON-WOOD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGAM IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY, ONTARIO AUGUST 2018 © Julia F Gruson-Wood 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation is an ethnographic study of the culture, social organization, and everyday practices of providers and recipients of autism-based applied behavior therapies in Ontario, Canada. Autism-based applied behavior therapies are highly controversial evidence-based autism interventions that have become the standard of care, and the only guaranteed-funded services, for autistic people in this province. These therapies are provided by teachers in public autism classrooms, by parents in the home, and by personal support workers in group homes with autistic residents. The lives of many autistic people in this province, whether at school, in the home, or the community, are structured through completing behaviour therapy activities. The growing voices that resist and proliferate applied behaviour therapies, highlight the importance of critical scholarly attention to these therapies. This dissertation is situated within the fields of science studies, medical anthropology, and critical autism studies, and focuses on the experiences and practices of providers. Learning about what providers do, and how they make sense of what they do, helps to understand the professional culture in which they work, and the complex forces of power that govern both their activities and the everyday lives of autistic people in this province.

You can find the PDF here. I have received permission from the Autism National Committee (AUTCOM) to make this letter available to readers in response to the proposal: Dear Ms. Pickett: We are writing as a coalition of organizations representing a wide variety of different constituents in the disabilities field. We include organizations run by people with disabilities as well as those run by parents, other family members, professionals, providers and many others. Our coalition also includes groups representing a wide array of different kinds of disability categories, including developmental disabilities, mental health conditions, physical disabilities and sensory disabilities. We are writing to express our profound concern about the proposed ICD-9-CM code for wandering discussed at the last meeting of the ICD Coordination and Maintenance Committee on March 9th-10th. While wandering behavior leading to injury and death represents an important and legitimate safety issue for the disability community, we are concerned that the proposal put forward by CDC’s National Center for Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD) is not rooted in high quality research and has significant potential unintended consequences for people with disabilities and family members.

    The Cerebral Subject and the Challenge of Neurodiversity

    BioSocieties (2009), 4, 425–445 ª London School of Economics and Political Science doi:10.1017/S1745855209990287 The Cerebral Subject and the Challenge of Neurodiversity Francisco Ortega Institute for Social Medicine, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Rua Saˇ o Francisco Xavier 524, Rio de Janeiro CEP 20550-900, Brazil E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The neurodiversity movement has so far been dominated by autistic people who believe their condition is not a disease to be treated and, if possible, cured, but rather a human specificity (like sex or race) that must be equally respected. Autistic self-advocates largely oppose groups of parents of autistic children and professionals searching for a cure for autism. This article discusses the posi- tions of the pro-cure and anti-cure groups. It also addresses the emergence of autistic cultures and various issues concerning autistic identities. It shows how identity issues are frequently linked to a ‘neurological self-awareness’ and a rejection of psychological interpretations. It argues that the preference for cerebral explanations cannot be reduced to an aversion to psychoanalysis or psychological culture. Instead, such preference must be understood within the context of the dif- fusion of neuroscientific claims beyond the laboratory and their penetration in different domains of life in contemporary biomedicalized societies. Within this framework, neuroscientific theories, prac- tices, technologies and therapies are influencing the ways we think about ourselves and relate to others, favoring forms of neurological or cerebral subjectivation. The article shows how neuroscien- tific claims are taken up in the formation of identities, as well as social and community networks.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Volume 1. No. 1 Introduction. October 17, 2012 By Larry Arnold. Introduction. By Larry Arnold In ‘Hopi Culture and a Matter of Representation,’ Lomayumtewa Ishii[1] describes the excessive preoccupation of North American academic ethnology and anthropology with the Hopi tribe to the extent that the representation of ’hopiland‘, as he describes it, has resulted in a cultural archive (citing Said) that maintains and continues to perpetuate an ‘intellectual colonisation’ over the Hopi people. As editor of this journal, I cannot help but see the parallels with the scientific, and more recently, the disability studies world’s preoccupation with autism, to the extent that in order to maintain our own academic credibility We find ourselves having to to cite outside “ethnographers” to validate ideas that had originally been introduced to this discussion by the autochthonous autistic community itself. It is with this background in mind that ‘Autonomy’ has been set up by a small group of autistic academics under the auspices of the Autreach Press, an organisation formed for the purpose, which subscribes to the general principles of the Autreach[2] group of autonomous organisations who share the common aim of promoting greater autistic autonomy, hence the title of this journal. Introduction. Indeed this mirrors the experience that Sinclair[3] has described with the establishment of the Autism Network International (ANI) after the experiences of attending various academic conferences and meeting other autistic people, hearing time and again papers about them, but not written by them. Often the only role we as ‘Autists’ play on this circuit is that of the subjects of research, either as volunteers or unwittingly when our autobiographic materials and many web sites and forums have been trawled by ethnographers and ethnomethodologists searching for readily available material.
