No. 72 Challenging the Autism Paradigm: A Neurodiversity Perspective

  • Summary


  • In this episode of Takiwatanga, we explore a paradigm shift in the way we understand autism, as presented by Jac den Houting in their TEDx talk. Jac, an openly autistic autism researcher, challenges the traditional medical assumptions of autism and introduces the concept of neurodiversity. They share personal experiences and research findings that question the focus of autism research and the societal approach to disability. Join us as we delve into the crucial need for a paradigm shift in our understanding of autism and the importance of recognizing and respecting the diverse perspectives and needs of autistic individuals.
