Résumé

Cet article analyse les récits d’expériences scolaires de 19 personnes autistes au Canada, issus du projet Re•Storying Autism, qui vise à remettre en question les logiques déficitaires dominantes de l’autisme et à re-raconter les façons de devenir et d’appartenir dans les écoles. Dans notre analyse, nous avons été frappés par des récits omniprésents de violence incessante et déshumanisante, ainsi que par des moments occasionnels d’appartenance et de soin. À travers l’ontologie et la métaphore féministes matérialistes de l’(in)adéquation et la théorie féministe des affects, nous examinons les dimensions discursives, matérielles et affectives des expériences scolaires autistes de violence et d’appartenance afin de remettre en question les logiques déficitaires nuisibles qui y circulent et d’ouvrir des voies permettant de comprendre les affects/effets ainsi que les voies de transformation. Nous soutenons que l’inadéquation et la violence dans les écoles se matérialisent à travers des agencements produits, en partie, par une constellation d’affects – peur, haine, inconfort – accompagnant des héritages développementalistes validistes qui structurent encore les systèmes d’éducation formelle. Notre approche intervient dans les études féministes néomatérialistes et les études critiques de l’autisme, qui n’ont pas encore abordé l’autisme et la violence scolaire. Sur la base de cette analyse combinée à des récits de réponses relationnelles et créatives à l’inadéquation, nous examinons des possibilités de transgression et de plaidoyer susceptibles d’élargir les possibilités de devenirs (neuro)divers affirmatifs et de refaire les pratiques et les espaces scolaires de manières plus relationnelles, contextuelles et éthiques.

This paper analyses 19 autistic individuals’ stories of school experiences in Canada drawn from the Re•Storying Autism project, which aims to challenge dominant deficit logics of autism and re-story ways of becoming and belonging in schools. In our analysis, we were struck by ubiquitous stories of relentless, dehumanizing violence and by occasional moments of belonging and care. Through the feminist materialist ontology and metaphor of (mis)fitting and feminist affect theory, we engage discursive, material, and affective dimensions of autistic school experiences of violence and belonging to challenge harmful deficit logics circulating therein and open avenues for understanding affects/effects alongside pathways for transformation. We argue that misfitting and violence in schools materializes through assemblages produced, in part, via a constellation of affects – fear, hatred, discomfort – accompanying ableist developmentalist legacies still structuring formal education systems. Our approach intervenes into feminist neomaterialist and critical autism studies, which have yet to grapple with autism and school violence. Based on this analysis combined with stories of relational and creative responses to misfitting, we consider opportunities for transgression and advocacy that can expand possibilities for affirming (neuro)diverse becomings and for remaking school practices and spaces in more relational, contextual, and ethical ways.
