    Pausing Encounters with Autism and Its Unruly Representation: An inquiry into method, culture and academia in the making of disability and difference in Canada A dissertation submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science. TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Copyright by John Edward Marris 2013 Canadian Studies Ph.D. Graduate Program January 2014 ABSTRACT Pausing Encounters with Autism and Its Unruly Representation: An inquiry into method, culture and academia in the making of disability and difference in Canada John Edward Marris This dissertation seeks to explore and understand how autism, asperger and the autistic spectrum is represented in Canadian culture. Acknowledging the role of films, television, literature and print media in the construction of autism in the consciousness of the Canadian public, this project seeks to critique representations of autism on the grounds that these representations have an ethical responsibility to autistic individuals and those who share their lives. This project raises questions about how autism is constructed in formal and popular texts; explores retrospective diagnosis and labelling in biography and fiction; questions the use of autism and Asperger’s as metaphor for contemporary technology culture; examines autistic characterization in fiction; and argues that representations of autism need to be hospitable to autistic culture and difference. In carrying out this critique this project proposes and enacts a new interdisciplinary methodology for academic disability study that brings the academic researcher in contact with the perspectives of non-academic audiences working in the same subject area, and practices this approach through an unconventional focus group collaboration.

  • Supporting Neurodiverse Students on Campus and Beyond
    Supporting Neurodiverse Students on Campus and Beyond Eric R. Mitchell, PhD [email protected] [email protected] Amy D. Edwards, Ed.D. [email protected] with Drexel Students Armon Owlia, Robert Barton, and Morgan Murtagh 4th Annual Philadelphia Autism Project Conference “Journey through the Lifespan: Mapping Your Path” In collaboration with Ruttenberg Autism Center and Drexel University October 18, 2019 Objectives: Statistics on the low rates of college success and under-employment for individuals diagnosed on the spectrum are staggering. Developing programs that individualize supports for students are essential for successful transitions. This workshop will explore components of successful transition planning starting at 14 years of age under IDEA, continuing through the college years with ADA accommodations, and preparing graduates for success in vocational settings in the workplace. Ruttenberg Autism Center and Drexel’s DASP program have supported such success, and will discuss with students how these supports have promoted their own educational and vocational trajectories toward a more successful future. Describe components of transition planning that predict success in college and work settings. Identify how colleges can successfully assist neurodiverse students to overcome challenges. Summarize how a local university and service provider are collaborating to address the increasing need for autism accommodations in higher education, leading to success in the workplace. Your Questions….Answered! o On the index card, please write a question you would like answered in this presentation o We will incorporate those answers as we talk! What is Neurodiversity? - Definition - Neurodiversity is a concept where neurological differences are recognized and respected just as any other difference.

    AUTHORS' VERSION Rottier, H. & Gernsbacher, M. A. (2020). Autistic adult and non-autistic parent advocates: Bridging the divide. In. A. C. Carey, J. M., Ostrove, & T. Fannon (Eds.) Disability alliances and allies (Research in social science and disability, Vol. 12, pp. 155-166). Emerald Publishing Limited. https://doi.org/10.1108/S1479-354720200000012011 Chapter 7 AUTISTIC ADULT AND NON-AUTISTIC PARENT ADVOCATES: BRIDGING THE DIVIDE Helen Rottier and Morton Ann Gernsbacher ABSTRACT Purpose: Due to the developmental nature of autism, which is often diagnosed in preschool or elementary school-aged children, non-autistic parents of autistic children typically play a prominent role in autism advocacy. How- ever, as autistic children become adults and adult diagnoses of autism continue to rise, autistic adults have played a more prominent role in advo- cacy. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the histories of adult and non-autistic parent advocacy in the United States and to examine the points of divergence and convergence. Approach: Because of their different perspectives and experiences, advocacy by autistic adults and non-autistic parents can have distinctive goals and conflicting priorities. Therefore, the approach we take in the current chapter is a collaboration between an autistic adult and a non-autistic parent, both of whom are research scholars. Findings: The authors explore the divergence of goals and discourse between autistic self-advocates and non-autistic parent advocates and offer three principles for building future

Robison remembers people glance. The neurodiversity movement is likely to be noting his lack of eye contact with such comments as “You look credited with starting discussions on autism and related like a criminal,” or “nobody trusts a man who won’t look them in issues of justice and ethics, but perhaps this movement the eye.” (pp. 2) Robison also notes that: has set its sights short.

    “IT REVEALS WHO I REALLY AM”: NEW METAPHORS, SYMBOLS, AND MOTIFS IN REPRESENTATIONS OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS IN POPULAR CULTURE By Summer Joy O’Neal A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Middle Tennessee State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Angela Hague, Chair Dr. David Lavery Dr. Robert Petersen Copyright © 2013 Summer Joy O’Neal ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There simply is not enough thanks to thank my family, my faithful parents, T. Brian and Pamela O’Neal, and my understanding sisters, Auburn and Taffeta, for their lifelong support; without their love, belief in my strengths, patience with my struggles, and encouragement, I would not be in this position today. I am forever grateful to my wonderful director, Dr. Angela Hague, whose commitment to this project went above and beyond what I deserved to expect. To the rest of my committee, Dr. David Lavery and Dr. Robert Petersen, for their seasoned advice and willingness to participate, I am also indebted. Beyond these, I would like to recognize some “unofficial” members of my committee, including Dr. Elyce Helford, Dr. Alicia Broderick, Ari Ne’eman, Chris Foss, and Melanie Yergau, who graciously offered me necessary guidance and insightful advice for this project, particularly in the field of Disability Studies. Yet most of all, Ephesians 3.20-21. iii ABSTRACT Autism has been sensationalized by the media because of the disorder’s purported prevalence: Diagnoses of this condition that was traditionally considered to be quite rare have radically increased in recent years, and an analogous fascination with autism has emerged in the field of popular culture.
