“Autism and Rhetoric”
by Paul Heilker and Melanie Yergeau
Abstract:
Authors Paul Heilker and Melanie
Yergeau introduce the idea of autism as rhetoric. The work of Jim Corder, and presentation
of the authors’ personal experiences, suggest the idea of autism as a
rhetorical phenomenon rather than a sense of “otherness.” In the article autism
is simply “a way of being in the world through language.”
