Neurodivergenz
Anders nicht falsch
Von: Maria Zimmermann
(2023, Deutsch, 220 Seiten)
Buch bei Orell Füssli
Auf der Suche nach Literatur über ihre Autistische Wahrnehmung hat Maria Zimmermann beschlossen, selbst ein Buch darüber zu schreiben und zu gestalten. Im Verlauf lernte sie, wie sehr die Sprache, welche wir benutzen, um über etwas zu sprechen, unsere Beziehung dazu prägt. Sie spricht von Entdeckung, nicht Diagnose. Merkmal, nicht Symptom. Autistisch sein, nicht Autismus haben. Im Spektrum, nicht auf dem Spektrum. Sensorische Sensibilität, nicht sensorische Verarbeitungsstörung. Eigenheit, nicht Schwierigkeit.

Thinking in Pictures, Expanded Edition: My Life with Autism
Von: Temple Grandin
(2006, Englisch, 320 Seiten)
Buch bei Orell Füssli
Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is a gifted animal scientist who has designed one third of all the livestock-handling facilities in the United States. She also lectures widely on autism-because Temple Grandin is autistic, a woman who thinks, feels, and experiences the world in ways that are incomprehensible to the rest of us. In this unprecedented book, Grandin delivers a report from the country of autism. Writing from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person, she tells us how that country is experienced by its inhabitants and how she managed to breach its boundaries to function in the outside world. What emerges in Thinking in Pictures is the document of an extraordinary human being, one who, in gracefully and lucidly bridging the gulf between her condition and our own, sheds light on the riddle of our common identity.

Nobody’s Normal: How Culture Created the Stigma of Mental Illness
Von: Roy Richard Grinker
(2021, Englisch, 448 Seiten)
Buch bei Orell Füssli
For centuries, scientists and society cast moral judgments on anyone deemed mentally ill, confining many to asylums. In Nobody’s Normal, anthropologist Roy Richard Grinker chronicles the progress and setbacks in the struggle against mental-illness stigmafrom the eighteenth century, through America’s major wars, and into today’s high-tech economy. Nobody’s Normal argues that stigma is a social process that can be explained through cultural history, a process that began the moment we defined mental illness, that we learn from within our communities, and that we ultimately have the power to change. Though the legacies of shame and secrecy are still with us today, Grinker writes that we are at the cusp of ending the marginalization of the mentally ill. In the twenty-first century, mental illnesses are fast becoming a more accepted and visible part of human diversity.
NeuroTribes – The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently
Von: Steve Silberman
(2016, Englisch, 592 Seiten)
Buch bei Orell Füssli
Following on from his groundbreaking article ‚The Geek Syndrome‘, Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years. Going back to the earliest autism research and chronicling the brave and lonely journey of autistic people and their families through the decades, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle, while mapping out a path for our society toward a more humane world in which people with learning differences have access to the resources they need to live happier and more meaningful lives. Along the way, he reveals the untold story of Hans Asperger, the father of Asperger’s syndrome, whose ‚little professors‘ were targeted by the darkest social-engineering experiment in human history; exposes the covert campaign by child psychiatrist Leo Kanner to suppress knowledge of the autism spectrum for fifty years; and casts light on the growing movement of ’neurodiversity‘ activists seeking respect, technological innovation, accommodations in the workplace and education, and the right to self-determination for those with cognitive differences.
