Reviews

Beginning with an autistic perspective, Harbord refuses normative notions of the social, proposing forms and forces of sociality that are radically expanded through autistic life. This work will be very important to the growing milieu of critical autism studies. -- Erin Manning, University Research Chair in Relational Art and Philosophy in the Faculty of Fine Arts, Concordia University, Canada This is an excellent book, representing a new and vital intervention in autism studies. It is timely in its focus and addresses a gap in the current scholarly literature. -- Julia Miele Rodas, Professor of English, Bronx Community College & the Graduate Center, City University of New York, USA
