Synopsis

For more than a decade, Damian Milton has shared his insider views on the nature of autism. This book brings together for the first time a collection of essays and articles exploring the communication and understanding difficulties that can create barriers between people, and celebrating the diversity in our communication styles and experiences. Milton re-frames the view that people with autism represent a 'disordered other', and highlights how our current knowledge has been created by non-autistic people who are 'on the outside, looking in'. He argues that communication difficulties are not due to impairment in one party, but rather to what he terms the double empathy problem A Mismatch of Salience.

À propos de l'auteur

DAMIAN MILTON is Lecturer in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities at the Tizard Centre, University of Kent, UK, and Head of Autism Knowledge and Expertise (Adults and Community) for the National Autistic Society (NAS). He currently teaches on the MA Education (Autism) programme at London South Bank University, is a consultant for the Transform Autism Education (TAE) project, and sits on the scientific and advisory committee for Research Autism.

Damian's interest in autism began when his son was diagnosed in 2005 as autistic at the age of two. Damian was also diagnosed with Asperger s in 2009 at the age of 36. Thanks to Damian s ability to present his views and insights from inside the autism spectrum so clearly, he is able to challenge many of the ideas held by society.
