TM Literary Criticism on MLA Commons 10 years, 2 months agoHave cognitive scientists misread autism? What happens if, instead of simply accepting such research, literary critics turned to the actual prose and poetry written by autistic authors, such as Tito Mukhopadhyay and Donna Williams?

I then show how she m…[Read more]
