Description
Recent decades have witnessed an influx of disability narratives, which offer a window into the life experience of disabled children and adults, and have resulted in new perspectives about their abilities and experiences. In this course we will critically examine the ways in which autism has been framed and discussed across a wide range of cultural narratives, including literary fiction, commercial cinema, social media and news media. We will read first-person life narratives, exploring the impact on individuals, families, social and educational contexts.
