Abstract

ABSTRACT In Emotion, Sense, Experience (2020), Rob Boddice and Mark Smith put forth a paradigm‐shifting argument for how we might employ experience as a master category of historical analysis—one that sees matters of cognition, emotion, and sensation as crucially embraided in human subjectivity. Building on their foundation, this review essay imagines the possibilities of a historical neurodiversity studies, an outlook that sees human neurological diversity as vital to understanding experience. The history of experience, I suggest, is the history of neurodiversity, and the history of neurodiversity is the history of human experience.
