Selling Out the Spectrum

How Science Lost the Trust of Autistic People, and How It Can Win It Back
How did we get here and what happens now? Tackling the big questions in relation to autism and science, this book examines the problematic relationship between scientific research and disability, the controversial history of studies into the condition, and what science can do to restore faith in its practices for the autistic community.

When trust breaks down, how do we begin to fix it?

Written by leading autistic journalist Liam O'Dell, Selling Out the Spectrum takes a thorough, balanced deep-dive into the issues surrounding the relationship between science and the autistic community, can explores how past damage can be effectively and meaningfully repaired.
