Abstract
Perspectives on the phenomenology of the autistic experience are presented with particular reference to the imagination in autism and what may be conceptualized as 'neurodivergent aesthetics'. Drawing upon a research project that explored the potential of drama as an 'intervention' in autism, an attempt is made to de-mythologize the condition by challenging stereotypes and by suggesting that the multimodalities of performance offer an appropriate space for 'encounters' with autistic states of being while also questioning the dualisms which distinguish between the aesthetic and non-aesthetic.
