We See Things They’ll Never See

In "We See Things They’ll Never See," authors Chantelle Jessica Lewis and Jason Arday explore how ableism is entrenched in various aspects of life, including social interaction, education, and mental health, often sidelining neurodiversity. They highlight the neurodiversity movement as a means to combat not only ableism but also interconnected issues like racism and capitalism through the lens of neurotypical dominance. By weaving together theories of Blackness, feminism, and class with neurodivergence, the authors advocate for solidarity across diverse social structures, emphasizing the practical application of social theory outside of academia. This book serves as both a call to action and a plea for understanding, acceptance, and humility in addressing these pressing societal challenges.
