Autism Is Not A Disease

A fascinating exploration of the politics of neurodiversity. Hare has delivered a persuasive and inspiring manifesto that calls on us all to rethink what it really means to be ‘normal’. – Grace Blakeley, author of Vulture Capitalism
A formidable contribution to neurodiversity movement. Sharp, accessible and unflinchingly radical, this book is perfect for those who are looking for a political introduction to neurodiversity. It also makes a unique contribution to the conversation in its own right. Thoroughly cited, Hare makes links between a wide range of revolutionary thinkers and movements to politicise an issue that is being increasingly co-opted under neoliberal capitalism. It is the perfect book to meet this political moment, and helps us see that neurodiversity is connected to all of our liberation struggles. – Micah Frazer-Carroll, author of Mad World

Hare advocates for a more neuro-inclusive view, in which societies don’t just recognize but embrace natural variation and improve access to accommodations. – CJ Connor * Book Riot *
A primer on both neurodivergence and the wider need for disability rights. – Katharine Quarmby * The Tablet *
