Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained invisible. When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts -- talented and socially awkward. Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences. Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes? In The Autists, Clara ToÌrnvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history. From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens -- what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take center stage. 546 $a Translated from the Swedish. 650 0 $a Autistic women. 650 0 $a Autism spectrum disorders. 650 0 $a Autism. 650 0 $a Women $x Mental health. 700 1 $a Olsson, Alice E., $e translator. 941 $a 5 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716063117.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025952.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240202011504.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20240202011401.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011826.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=875A0352BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
