Neuroqueer Heresies

Notes on the Neurodiversity Paradigm, Autistic Empowerment, and Postnormal Possibilities

By: Nick Walker

Narrated by: Janet Metzger

The work of queer, autistic scholar Nick Walker has played a key role in the evolving discourse on human neurodiversity.

Neuroqueer Heresies collects a decade's worth of Dr. Walker's most influential writings, along with new commentary by the author and new material on her radical conceptualization of Neuroqueer Theory.

This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the foundations, terminology, implications, and leading edges of the emerging neurodiversity paradigm.

great insights

I hope this perspective is soon taught in every medical program. These insights will save the lives of so many autistic people.

Very interesting, good narration

I really appreciated the perspective and information shared in this book, and I thought the narrator was clear and engaging.

An excellent read

This work is an excellent introduction to the world of neurodiversity and queer theory. Incredibly grateful for this additional launching point into self- and societal analysis.

The explanation of neuroqueering is crystal clear.

This work is an important milestone. Its essay, "This is autism" is deeply moving. The final chapter should be included in all humanity departments that truly seek to dismantle oppressive normativity.

Ground Breaking

This book is a revelation. The author spoke clearly and forcibly about things I felt but couldn’t put into words. I put so many notes that I am going to buy the Kindle version. This book changed the way I see myself and the world. I highly recommend it.
