Always More Than One: Individuation's Dance

"Erin Manning's book offers a philosophy of neurodiverse perception, encouraging us 'not to begin with the pre-chunked.' How ironic, then, that the impulse to categorize and to pathologize is generally seen as evidence of the normate's proper functioning. In Manning's splendid book, autism comes to signify not a disorder but a relational' dance of attention,' one that refuses to strand any entity at the margin of our concern." - Ralph James Savarese, coeditor of "Autism and the Concept of Neurodiversity," a special issue of Disability Studies Quarterly.
