The politics of neurodiversity : why public policy matters
How can society best respond to people with atypical neurological development? Should we concentrate on providing medical care, or on ensuring civil rights? This offers a provocative analysis of the ways that intersecting agendas compete to make disability rights policy. The result is a thoughtful and timely consideration of the tensions shaping all quarters of disability advocacy.
