Re-Defining Our Lives: Towards a Social Understanding of Neurodiversity
This presentation makes the point that how we define autism, shapes our understanding of the condition, as a society. The talk touches on (and strongly advocates for!) the social model of disability, drawing on my personal experiences having assessments into my autism, and coming to understand and define the condition for myself. At one point in the presentation I conduct a thought experiment, describing "neuro-typical" traits in the same way you often see autistic traits presented in the media, as a way of illustrating the importance of language in these discussions. The talk is intended to challenge preconceptions about autism and give viewers a different perspective on how they think about disability!
