The Neurodiversity Reader
Exploring Concepts, Lived Experience and Implications for Practice
by Damian Milton
Description
Despite its wide impact on a range of disciplines, the concept of neurodiversity is often poorly understood. This can lead to uninformed debate and tensions regarding service provision. This edited reader brings together work from pioneering figures within and beyond the neurodiversity movement to critically explore its history, the concepts that have shaped it, lived experiences, and how a more informed understanding might translate into better practice and service provision.
