Tracing Autism

"The work is engaging, thoughtful, and challenging. Tracing Autism makes an innovative contribution to autism studies, studies of science and affect, and the sociology of medical knowledge."—Chloe Silverman, author of Understanding Autism: Parents, Doctors, and the History of a Disorder

"Tracing Autism offers a theoretically rich and alternative perspective that departs from a critique of neuroscience to highlight how scientists 'move in, around, and out' with the complexities, anxieties, and ambiguities of autism neuroscience and the developing brain."—Jennifer S. Singh, author of Multiple Autisms: Spectrums of Advocacy and Genomic Science

"Much more than a study of the making of a specific diagnostic category, this beautifully written book helps us to understand the hopes, the passions, and the ambivalences of scientists at work at the intersections of neuroscientific research, clinical practice and personal commitment."—Nikolas Rose, King's College London

"Beautifully written and lucidly argued, Tracing Autism shows us how to think in more entangled, capaciousm, and affecting ways about the social life of neuroscience. "—Elizabeth A. Wilson, author of Gut Feminism
