Neuroqueer Heresies

Notes on the Neurodiversity Paradigm, Autistic Empowerment, and Postnormal Possibilities

De: Nick Walker

Narrado por: Janet Metzger

The work of queer, autistic scholar Nick Walker has played a key role in the evolving discourse on human neurodiversity.

Neuroqueer Heresies collects a decade's worth of Dr. Walker's most influential writings, along with new commentary by the author and new material on her radical conceptualization of Neuroqueer Theory.

This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the foundations, terminology, implications, and leading edges of the emerging neurodiversity paradigm.

great insights

I hope this perspective is soon taught in every medical program. These insights will save the lives of so many autistic people.

Very interesting, good narration

I really appreciated the perspective and information shared in this book, and I thought the narrator was clear and engaging.

An excellent read

This work is an excellent introduction to the world of neurodiversity and queer theory. Incredibly grateful for this additional launching point into self- and societal analysis.

The explanation of neuroqueering is crystal clear.

This work is an important milestone. Its essay, "This is autism" is deeply moving. The final chapter should be included in all humanity departments that truly seek to dismantle oppressive normativity.

Ground Breaking

This book is a revelation. The author spoke clearly and forcibly about things I felt but couldn’t put into words. I put so many notes that I am going to buy the Kindle version. This book changed the way I see myself and the world. I highly recommend it.

Mind Opening

Eye opening for a middle age queer neurodivergent person. Helpful and clear definitions, interesting arguments, and a liberatory spirit makes for engaging and thoughtful material. I rarely recommend books to others and I am doing just that to a wide variety of people, including a client, health teacher and my daughter! Absolutely worth a listen.

Essential read

This is a critical look into the unintentional oppression of autistic and muerodivergent people. Important for deepening an intersectional anti-oppressive lens and heart. Must read for those in mental health, social work, and public health. A big thank you to the author for gifting the world with this analysis and insight.

Those were words…

There are some good points in this book hidden inside arguments of semantics and the gate keeping of people with Autism.
