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.

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.
