Subject: Winter 2010 issue of DSQ goes live: featuring "Autism and the
Concept of Neurodiversity"
Proudly, so very proudly, we are announcing the LIVE release of the
Winter 2010 issue of Disability Studies Quarterly which features three
individual peer reviewed articles, some great poetry by Jim Ferris and
Petra Kuppers AND.... (yes, there's more) what we believe is a
compelling, original, path-breaking special issue on:
"Autism and the Concept of Neurodiversity,"
co-edited by Ralph James Savarese and Emily Thornton Savarese.
see: http://dsq-sds.org/
In fact, today Steve Kuusisto's "Planet of the Blind" blog features a
piece about the freshly released issue that characterizes it well:

spectrum)
