Debate: Neurodiversity, autism and healthcare
Open Access paper from the CAMH journal – ‘I discuss current different uses of the term autism, the relation to intellectual disability, and introduce a conceptualisation of autism as emergent and transactional, which is consistent with current developmental and intervention science.
