Narrating The Many Autisms by Anna Stenning
This book critically examines how autism is narrated across different contexts, arguing against a single, fixed definition and highlighting the plurality of autistic experiences and identities. Drawing on personal accounts, social theory, and cultural analysis, it explores how stories about autism shape understanding, policy, and selfhood, and considers the power dynamics involved in who gets to speak and be heard. The result is a nuanced account that foregrounds lived experience, challenges deficit-focused frameworks, and calls for more inclusive, context-sensitive approaches to autism research and advocacy.
