Wexler deserves praise for her ambitious synthesis of research on autistic intelligence and for her exploration of autistic creativity - Mark Osteen, Disability Studies Journal

Wexler deserves praise for her ambitious synthesis of research on autistic intelligence and for her exploration of autistic creativity - Mark Osteen, Disability Studies Journal Alice Wexler's Autism in a Decentered World offers a novel epistemology of autism that valorizes autistic ways of experiencing by celebrating the artistic expressions of self-identified autistic people. It raises interesting and ultimately unanswerable ontological and epistemological questions about human consciousness/perception, artistic difference and the politics of representation. This book introduces readers to artists whose work has been under-valued because of othering, [and it] politicizes art by emphasizing its world-disclosing capacities... - Majia Nadesan, Professor, School of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Arizona State University.
