Re-thinking autism : diagnosis, identity and equality / edited by Katherine Runswick-Cole, Rebecca Mallett and Sami Timimi. - 336 pages ; 25 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Disputing the existing accepted approaches to autism and the focus on diagnosis and 'treatment', this book challenges the attitudes, assumptions and prejudices around autism that are generated from the medical model, suggesting that they can be marginalising, limiting and potentially damaging to the individuals labelled with autism.
