Critical autism studies

Critical autism studies (CAS) is an interdisciplinary research field led by autistic people.[1][2][3] There are multiple competing definitions with the narrower one as skeptical of the validity and value of autism as a medical diagnosis. A broader definition encompasses "exploring power relationships that construct autism; enabling narratives that challenge the dominant negative medical autism discourses; and creation of theoretical and methodological approaches that are emancipatory and value the highly individual nature of autism and its nascent culture".[4] Critical autism studies originated in a 2011 seminar in England and is influenced by critical disability studies.[5]
