Abstract

Tracing Autism outlines a sociological account of research regarding neuroscientists and their practices with regard to working in the field of autism. This research was collated from interviews with neuroscientists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Given the glowing endorsements of such luminaries as Nikolas Rose, I was looking forward to reading this text. Unfortunately, I was left not only unimpressed but somewhat dismayed by what I found.

Cited bibliography overview

These indicators describe the bibliography cited by this publication. An author name is counted each time it appears in one cited reference, so the same person can be counted more than once. Names not yet linked to an author already present in AutiHub are treated as unknown, not as non-autistic. Last computed: 3 Oct 2026 01:00.
