The Politics of Neurodiversity: Why Public Policy Matters

The Politics of Neurodiversity presents a taxonomy of agendas shaping modern disability policy: cause, care, cure, and celebration. These distinct agendas create tensions that both help and hinder the development of effective disability policy in modern democracies. By taking the reader through the implications of each of these tensions, the book conveys a comprehensive framework from which to study the politics and policy of neurodiversity and neurological differences.
