Introducing Ought: The Journal of Autistic Culture

https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/ought/

This is a link to a newly launched journal about autistic culture.  Rather than draw exclusively from scholarly neurotypical outsiders analyzing autistic culture, it draws directly from the culture-makers ourselves.  This is, in my opinion, a fantastic idea, and I hope this journal lasts many years.

Ought contains everything from poetry to opinion pieces to artwork.  It talks about everything from what autism is to education and social norms. and included at the very end is a short book review I wrote about On the Edge of Gone, by Corinne Duyvis.

Each piece can be read, for free, by clicking the "pdf" icon.  Please especially note the call for submissions at the very end: parents, teachers, professionals, and autistics alike can all contribute to this journal, and your perspective is valuable.
