Authoring autism: on rhetoric and neurological queerness

Abstract

ll three of these important books solidly document the many inequities and injustices regarding disability in institutions of higher education. Using a combination of carefully detailed history, complex and insightful theoretical approaches, personal narrative, and occasional well-placed A humor, all three books show how colleges and universities have a long way to go in order to provide the welcoming institutional access for disabled students and faculty that they purport to do. It's clear that some institutions are sorely lacking in providing even the minimal access required by law. The reasons behind this discrimination are many and complex, and all three books establish in vivid and convincing ways how, why, and when people with disabilities face multiple obstacles in higher education, even thirty years after federal legislation that prohibited such barriers. These books should be read by all university
