Abstract

Disability autobiography may be regarded as a postcolonial – indeed, an anticolonial – phenomenon, a form of autoethnography, as Mary Louise Pratt has defined it: ‘instances in which colonized subjects undertake to represent themselves in ways that engage with [read: contest] the colonizer’s own terms’.

Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 12 Sep 2026 01:04.
