Summary: | Many of these issue from people who are autistic rather than, as was previously the case, from their parents. [...] autism is more likely to be depicted as a form of neurodiversity in need of acknowledgment and accommodation than as a curse in need of a cure. [...] today, as the parents of baby-boomers age and decline, narratives of Alzheimer's are becoming numerous. [...] I want to thank the members of the JLCDS Editorial Board who helped with this special issue by reviewing submissions-namely, Jim Berger, Lucy Burke, Johnson Fan Cheu, Elizabeth Donaldson, Jim Ferris, Chris Gabbard, Richard Ingram, Mark Mossman, Diane Price Herndl, Julia Miele Rodas, Irene Rose, David Serlin, and Martha Stoddard-Holmes. |
