Featuring voices of thirty-seven autistic academics worldwide, this book offers an exploration of their experiences in academic spaces through engaging first-person narratives. It provides valuable recommendations for non-autistic colleagues, institutions or anyone committed to promoting inclusivity in academic spaces.
Embracing neurodiversity, Autistics in the Academy amplifies the voices of thirty-seven autistic academics from around the world, unveiling their unique perspectives in academia. Sandra Thom-Jones, an academic and advocate, spotlights overlooked contributions, addressing challenges veiled by stigma. The book aims to dismantle barriers and foster a more inclusive academic landscape. Drawing on first-hand narratives, this work not only raises awareness but also provides insights into how non-autistic individuals can actively contribute to the success and enrichment of autistic academics. This book is an essential resource for those seeking to understand, support, and champion the contributions of autistic individuals within the academic world, and for anyone interested in building a more inclusive academy.
