Leon J. Hilton guides us on a wondrously wayward path from the asylum to the theater, from the campus to the wilderness, amid vast mindscapes and lifeworlds of autistic people. The result is an exquisite, kaleidoscopic map that plots worlds and worldmaking.

What new realities might emerge? Bringing a much-needed humanistic perspective to the study of autism and other forms of neurodivergence, \u003ci\u003eCounter-cartographies\u003c\/i\u003e offers a bold reimagining of neurological difference, moving beyond rigid diagnostic frameworks to uncover more expansive, generative modes of existence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Engaging the work of Fernand Deligny to trace how modern taxonomies of neurodivergence have hardened over time, Leon J. Hilton questions how these categories might instead serve as tools for remapping the world with neurodivergence at its center. At the heart of \u003ci\u003eCounter-cartographies\u003c\/i\u003e is an exploration of performance and performativity that reveals how the norm of neurotypical reality is continually reinforced through acts of doing, redoing, and undoing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Charting the historical shift away from “mind” and toward “brain” and moving fluidly across disciplines-from digital art and documentary cinema to cybernetics and radical mental health movements-Hilton illuminates the deep interconnections between performance, perception, and the historical construction of the “neurotypical.” Through close readings of works by William Pope.L, Mel Baggs, Wu Tsang, and others, Hilton also examines how neurodivergence has been represented, embodied, and materialized in contemporary art and media. Restless, engrossing, and persistently attuned to moments of rupture when the neurotypical order falters, \u003ci\u003eCounter-cartographies\u003c\/i\u003e charts a path toward a more capacious, imaginative world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRetail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and\/or extended descriptions.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contents \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Introduction: Toward a Cartography of Neurodivergence \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e 1.
