About this listen

The work of queer, autistic scholar Nick Walker has played a key role in the evolving discourse on human neurodiversity.

Neuroqueer Heresies collects a decade's worth of Dr. Walker's most influential writings, along with new commentary by the author and new material on her radical conceptualization of Neuroqueer Theory.

This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the foundations, terminology, implications, and leading edges of the emerging neurodiversity paradigm.

This work is an important milestone. Its essay, "This is autism" is deeply moving. The final chapter should be included in all humanity departments that truly seek to dismantle oppressive normativity.

The explanation of neuroqueering is crystal clear.

This book is a revelation. The author spoke clearly and forcibly about things I felt but couldn’t put into words. I put so many notes that I am going to buy the Kindle version. This book changed the way I see myself and the world. I highly recommend it.

Eye opening for a middle age queer neurodivergent person. Helpful and clear definitions, interesting arguments, and a liberatory spirit makes for engaging and thoughtful material. I rarely recommend books to others and I am doing just that to a wide variety of people, including a client, health teacher and my daughter! Absolutely worth a listen.

This is a critical look into the unintentional oppression of autistic and muerodivergent people. Important for deepening an intersectional anti-oppressive lens and heart. Must read for those in mental health, social work, and public health. A big thank you to the author for gifting the world with this analysis and insight.

There are some good points in this book hidden inside arguments of semantics and the gate keeping of people with Autism.

Those were words…
