“An important addition to analytic philosophy of autism.” Robert Chapman, Assistant Professor in Critical Neurodiversity Studies, Institute for Medical Humanities at Durham University, UK “This volume captures crucial perspectives in that the authors of each paper include at least one with direct, personal experience of autism, and thereby provides a unique and invaluable contribution to the literature on autism. It should interest anyone concerned with what autism is like “from the inside” and also the felt adequacy of various techniques designed to mitigate its effects. It also provides insightful discussion of the broader questions of how to describe inner experiences in a way that makes them intelligible to those who have not had them, how to determine whether a response is empathetic, and what it is to be a person who endures through time, and to be an autonomous—and moral—agent.” Janet Levin, Professor Emerita of Philosophy, University of Southern California, USA
