书籍简介

本书以作者自己的诊断为棱镜，对文化、神话和社会中的自闭症妇女进行了深刻而坦率的探讨。直到20世纪80年代，自闭症一直被认为是一种主要出现在男孩身上的疾病。即使在我们这个时代，自闭症女孩和妇女在很大程度上仍然被忽视。

在流行文化中，自闭症女性往往只是作为男性同行的复制品出现--有才华，不善社交。然而，自闭症妇女是存在的，而且一直存在。她们的兴趣和经历各不相同。

自闭症可能是一个相对较新的术语和诊断，但不是作为一种存在方式和在世界的功能。它一直是人类状况的一部分。那么，这些女性是谁，通过她们的眼睛看世界意味着什么？在《自闭症患者》中，Clara Toernvall重新使用了描述自闭症的语言，并探索了历史上艺术和文化中的自闭症经历。

从流行文化、电影和摄影到文学、歌剧和芭蕾舞，她敢于问，通过自闭症的镜头重新阅读这些作品意味着什么--如果我们允许超越神经症的观点占据中心位置，我们会发现什么。

An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis. Until the 1980s, autism was regarded as a condition found mostly in boys. Even in our time, autistic girls and women have largely remained invisible.

When portrayed in popular culture, women on the spectrum often appear simply as copies of their male counterparts - talented and socially awkward. Yet autistic women exist, and always have. They are varied in their interests and in their experiences.

Autism may be relatively new as a term and a diagnosis, but not as a way of being and functioning in the world. It has always been part of the human condition. So who are these women, and what does it mean to see the world through their eyes?In The Autists, Clara Toernvall reclaims the language to describe autism and explores the autistic experience in arts and culture throughout history.

From popular culture, films, and photography to literature, opera, and ballet, she dares to ask what it might mean to re-read these works through an autistic lens - what we might discover if we allow perspectives beyond the neurotypical to take centre stage.
