Spaces on the Spectrum
Book •
Catherine J. Tan's book draws on ethnographic research to explore the landscapes of autism advocacy, documenting how parents, autistic adults, clinicians, and organizations contest representation and resources.
The work centers diverse autistic experiences across life stages and highlights the fragmentation within the autism movement.
Tan examines how spaces—physical, institutional, and virtual—affect access, belonging, and power for autistic people and their allies.
Her analysis emphasizes the necessity of inclusive, representative organizing that attends to the needs of the most marginalized.
