Highlighting Diverse Collections Archive

Loud Hands is a collection of essays written by and for Autistic people. Published by the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, this anthology contains entries from the beginning of the neurodiversity movement to the present day.

This open access book marks the first historical overview of the autism rights branch of the neurodiversity movement, describing the activities and rationales of key leaders in their own words since it was organized into a unique community in 1992.

Bringing together a variety of interpretive theoretical perspectives including critical disability studies, queer and critical race theory, and cultural studies, War on Autism reveals an underlying, powerful, and ubiquitous logic of violence that casts autism as a pathological threat that advocacy must work to eliminate. An extremely impactful book that speaks openly about the violence that many autistic people experience—culturally, emotionally, and physically—as a result of ableism and prejudice.

This is the inaugural publication in Milkweed Press's Multiverse series, a literary series written and curated by the neurodivergent. Emerson, a non speaking autistic poet, writes in a highly personal and often meditative style that is a perfect introduction to this series celebrating "neurodivergent, autistic, neuroqueer, mad, nonspeaking, and disabled writers."

Autobiography on the Spectrum foregrounds the viewpoint of adolescents who are themselves on the spectrum. The book highlights the autobiographical works of autistic students through writing, photography, poetry, art, and more.
