Researcher's blog - The Autism Anthropologist

When searching about autism I ended up reading an article by Ben Belek which I found very interesting, and later I found his blog.
What most struck me was that, as an anthropologist, and not a "hard" scientist, this researcher have a much more empathetic view on autistic experience. His field of work also offers another perspective closer to the actual experiences and societal dynamics of autistics and autism.

The Autism Anthropologist

Anyone knows his publications? What do you think of it?
 
I'm not familiar with this writer, but I am definitely going to check him out. Thank you for sharing. I am a doctoral researcher in linguistics (and some philology) intersected with autism, and I am just now starting to see the importance of "anthropolinguistics" in my own work. Are you also interested in Anthropology? I think that a lot more autistic scholars need to be publishing in this area.

Thanks again for sharing the link, and I would love to chat with you some time about the article. I don't get to use this forum often, but if you are interested, send me a private message sometime:)

Blessings,
N
