As the number of diagnoses of Autism, Asperger's, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia rise, we are starting to understand that there is no such thing as a normal brain. However, society is still organised around neuro-normalcy, and autism is treated as a social disease. Jodie Hare, diagnosed with autism at twenty-three, argues that it is time to redefine the politics of who we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, neurodiversity is often discriminated against. Life expectancy is 36 years old, and cases of death by suicide are high. Individuals with autism are 30% more likely to suffer severe trauma in their lives. A 2020 study found that 66% of households in the US with autistic children experience material hardships, such as difficulty affording food or healthcare. In a time of austerity, social care is often insufficient. In the UK, only 6% of neurodivergent pupils receive the support to which they are entitled, and only 22% of autistic people are in any kind of employment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is to be done to promote a fairer, more neuro-inclusive society? Alongside a disablism justice campaign, Hare calls for the recognition of diversity as part of natural, biological variation, rather than sameness, and a commitment to building a world where all can thrive equally. Hare also acknowledges that this works alongside struggles based on class, gender, and race. This campaign, therefore, confronts the systems that continue to harm disabled people more widely, locating this harm along an axis of oppression that impacts all marginalised groups across society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAutism Is Not A Disease\u003c\/em\u003e by Jodie Hare is a powerful call to action for a more inclusive and understanding world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848488210668,"sku":"9781804291535","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10929653482830.jpg?v=1758981976"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/jodie-hare.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
