Abstract
This presentation explores the challenge that autistic community and culture brings to hegemonic normalcy. From the outset autism has been defined as other to this normative ideal, yet alternative theories and explanations regarding autistic experience can be seen to counteract deficit model narratives. Whilst social othering and disjuncture is a common experience, autistic community and culture can act as a source of social acceptance for autistic people as well as critique of hegemonic normalcy.
