This Explains Everything
How Autism Expanded and Why That Matters to Everyone
Naomi explores how autism became a cultural phenomenon and what this means for us all.
In this urgent and revelatory exploration of neurodivergence, clinical psychologist Naomi Fisher traces the extraordinary transformation of autism from rare medical diagnosis to defining cultural phenomenon. How do labels like autism shape lives – and who gets to decide what they mean? In this compelling narrative, Fisher examines the forces influencing how we understand neurodevelopmental difference and identity. She explores the diagnostic surge and overwhelming waiting lists, the bitter conflicts, the industries profiting from human distress, and the seductive myths that persist around autistic minds.
