GUIDES AND LIVED EXPERIENCES

Selling Out the Spectrum

Talking the Talk About Autism

How Science Lost the Trust of Autistic People, and How It Can Win It Back

How to share and tell your story

NEW RELEASE

NEW RELEASE

By Liam O'Dell

By Haley Moss

When trust breaks down, how do we begin to fix it? Set against the controversial history of genetic research into autism, from the Spectrum 10k study led by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen to the legacy of the Andrew Wakefield MMR scandal, this book explores the ways in which autistic people have been let down by science and what needs to be done to build partnerships.

As autistic self-advocates, our personal stories hold a lot of power: they are sources of strength, tales of overcoming barriers and adversity, and a way for us to assert agency and receive the support we might need. Talking the Talk About Autism shows how the experience can be made more impactful, safe, and less nerve-wracking for all those involved.
