Читать книгу We've Been Here All Along: Autistics Over 35 Speak Out in Poetry and Prose - Rachel Inc. Cohen-Rottenberg - Страница 4

Introduction

Books, websites, and the popular media often portray autism as a condition of childhood, rendering autistic adults nearly invisible. And when the concomitant message is that autism was nearly unknown in past generations, those of us who grew up undiagnosed can feel doubly marginalized.

In this volume of poetry and prose, autistic adults break through our invisibility and reflect upon our lives, our memories of childhood, and our present-day experiences. We give birth to our voices, to our struggles, and to our life stories.

We have always been here. Remember us.
