Whether by placing baseless blame on vaccinations or seeking a genetic cause, Americans have struggled to understand what autism is and where it comes from. In \u003ci\u003eAutistic Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e, Douglas Maynard and Jason Turowetz focus on a different origin of autism: the diagnostic process. By looking at how autism is diagnosed, they ask us to question the norms we use to measure autistic behaviour against, why we understand autistic behaviour as disordered, and how we go about assigning that disorder to particular people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo do so, the authors take a close look at a clinic in which children are assessed for and diagnosed with autism. Their research draws on hours observing assessment evaluations among psychologists, paediatricians, parents, and children in order to make plain the systems, language, and categories that clinicians rely upon when making their assessments. Those diagnostic tools determine the kind of information doctors can gather about children, and indeed, those assessments affect how children act.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAutistic Intelligence\u003c\/i\u003e shows that autism is not a stable category, but the result of an interpretive act, and in the process of diagnosing children with autism, we often miss all of the unique contributions they make to the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470065385708,"sku":"9780226816005","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226816005-autistic-intelligence.jpg?v=1775210952"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jason-turowetz.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
