“Today’s episode advocates for the establishment of Critical Autism Studies as a necessary challenge to prevailing power structures and societal norms surrounding autism. It argues that current narratives are often sanitised and controlled by non-autistic voices, neglecting the complex realities and truth-telling of autistic individuals. Drawing a parallel to historical oppressions, the author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, emphasises the threat of marginalised groups gaining literacy and self-authorship in dismantling dominant ideologies. The proposed program would center autistic experiences, critique the medical model, and foster intersectional understanding whilst envisioning a future built on autistic perspectives and community care, thus subverting capitalist and ableist frameworks.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/reading-the-system-autism-power-andLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
