AutismWHYandHOW: A Web Resource for Informed Reflective Discourse and Higher Synthesis of Autism’s Complexity
AutismWHYandHOW is a companion website to The Autism Revolution book addressing the assumptions, rationales, bodies of literature and gaps in the many answers to three core questions: What is Autism, What Causes Autism, and How Can We Help. It aims to support reflective discourse toward a higher synthesis of autism’s complexity through grasping the integrity and limits of insights from each vantage point. I will demonstrate the website, convey its spirit of inquiry and invite participation.
