Toward a Neuroqueer Future: An Interview with Nick Walker

摘要

In this interview, Autism in Adulthood's Associate Editor Dora M. Raymaker interviews Nick Walker about the state of neurodiversity scholarship and practice, past, present, and future. Nick Walker is a queer autistic professor of psychology, a cofounder of the worker-owned publishing house Autonomous Press, a longtime participant in autistic culture whose ideas have influenced the emergent fields of neurodiversity studies and critical autism theory, and a transdisciplinary scholar whose work explores the intersections of neurodiversity, embodiment, queer theory, and transformative practice. Raymaker and Walker conducted the original interview through e-mail; Raymaker then added citations, formatting, and light copy editing.
