War on Autism: On the Cultural Logic of Normative Violence by Anne McGuire
challenging
dark
informative
reflective
tense
slow-paced
4.5
A heavy book, both in its emotional and literary denseness. However it is a valuable text and builds up on how we have reached a framework in which disability, specifically autism, is not only pathologized but violence against it (and, therefore, against autistic people) is normalized.
Graphic: Ableism, Child abuse, Child death, Violence, and Murder
