Abstract
Fantasies of control, order, efficiency, and “a relatively unilinear notion of historical progress” are enmeshed in the collective imagination of industrialized societies in the Global North. These same ideals uphold settler white supremacy, cisheteropatriarchy, neo-colonialism, anti-Black racism, genocide, ecoism, land theft, and mass incarceration. The current global predicament shows that non-normative lives and alternative ways of living, especially those deemed unproductive to the free market economic system are either disposed of as excess or rebranded and repurposed through the tactical use of exceptionalism (and necropolitics). In this paper, I address and challenge epistemic, cognitive, and material injustice along with mindless consumerism, especially the mindless consumption of knowledge received and reproduced uncritically about bodymind "excess". More specifically, I actively and deliberately complicate fixed and constant expectations and interventions targeting subjects and subjectivities formed around dominant discourses and images of Autism in the USA’s popular imagination.
