In Authoring Autism M. Remi Yergeau defines neurodivergence as an identity-neuroqueerness-rather than an impairment. Using a queer theory framework, Yergeau notes the stereotypes that deny autistic people their humanity and the chance to define themselves while also challenging cognitive studies scholarship and its reification of the neurological passivity of autistics. They also critique early intensive behavioral interventions-which have much in common with gay conversion therapy-and questions the ableist privileging of intentionality and diplomacy in rhetorical traditions. Using storying as their method, they present an alternative view of autistic rhetoricity by foregrounding the cunning rhetorical abilities of autistics and by framing autism as a narrative condition wherein autistics are the best-equipped people to define their experience. Contending that autism represents a queer way of being that simultaneously embraces and rejects the rhetorical, Yergeau shows how autistic people queer the lines of rhetoric, humanity, and agency. In so doing, they demonstrate how an autistic rhetoric requires the reconceptualization of rhetoric’s very essence.

Reimagines neurodiversity through intersections of race, disability, and social justiceNeurodiversity has progressed from niche activism to a household term; our culture is now saturated with social media ads promising to "train" ADHD brains and media tropes like the quirky savant. But amidst this barrage of content urging self-optimization against a neurotypical template, Neurofutures pauses to ask: what comes next? Editors Diana R. Paulin, M. Remi Yergeau, Ralph James Savarese, and Elizabeth J. Donaldson gather a diverse array of scholars and creatives to think through "crip time" – sideways, chronic, manic, and executive dysfunction time – to reimagine the future of cognitive difference.Moving beyond a simplistic celebration of diversity, the collection interrogates the intersections of race, disability, and social justice. Contributors offer "mad provocations" that span from Black neurodivergence and Afrofuturism to neuroqueer paradigms and animal liberation. Through analyses of cultural texts – ranging from the folklore of "Little Eight John" to the speculative worlds of Octavia Butler and Shirley Jackson – the essays deconstruct the violence of neurotypical norms while advocating for the rights of neurodivergent people to full lives and care.Neurofutures refuses the linear march of progress, instead delving into the complex, often hidden realities of lived experience to map a world that welcomes divergence, dissent, and deep compassion.

Essays on neurodiversity in life and literatureRooted in disability activism and social justice discourse, Neurofutures defines, contextualizes, and reframes neurodiversity in its broadest sense—as the infinite variation of human minds. The essays highlight the voices of individuals with experiences of autism, anxiety, bipolar disorder, sleep-wake differences, obsessive-compulsive disorder, psychosis, and other forms of neurodivergence—experiences that may exist alongside other contexts like race, class, gender, and sexuality. Drawing on insights from literary texts and lived experiences, contributors acknowledge the pains and complexities of cognitive difference while evincing creative, defiant resilience and envisioning futures in which neurodivergence is valued, ableism is opposed, and intersectional justice is possible.This volume contains discussion of the following authors and works: Hamja Ahsan, Shy Radicals: The Antisystemic Politics of the Militant Introvert Jesse Ball, Census Octavia E.
