Neurodiversity is one of the most urgent political issues of our time. As diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and other types of neurodivergence increase, we are beginning to understand that there is no "normal" brain. However, society is still organized around neuronormativity, and autism is treated as a disease.
Jodie Hare, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of twenty-three, argues that it is time to redefine the politics of our identity. She calls for the recognition of diversity as part of natural differentiation, rather than being considered a deviation from homogeneity. This will impact the spaces where we learn, work, and socialize, and Hare shows how these spaces can be adapted to be more inclusive and accessible.
She demonstrates how we can commit to building a world where everyone can thrive, a world that works against discrimination based on race, class, gender, and disability.
