Project Title: Neurodiversity: A Very Short Introduction

 

Robert Chapman and Professor Sue Fletcher-Watson will be using this time to work on their forthcoming book Neurodiversity: A Very Short Introduction. This book will provide students, researchers, and professionals and activists with a broad and accessible introduction to the neurodiversity movement and its new paradigm. At the same time, it will provide the first general overview of the emerging field of neurodiversity studies, clarifying its utility for politics, policy and practice.
