What if the power of a single question could change the way the world sees autism?
Autistic Advocacy Unleashed is a groundbreaking journey into the heart of autism advocacy, told through the timeless art of Socratic dialogue. In this deeply thought-provoking and transformative book, Scott R. Frasard, PhD, an autistic self-advocate and educator, invites readers into a series of compelling, fictionalized conversations between Socrates, the father of questioning, and Advocate, a passionate autistic activist. Together, they dissect the myths, biases, and systemic barriers that have long shaped the public's perception of autism.
Through vivid, engaging discussions with various characters—policymakers, parents, mental health professionals, educators, and autistic individuals themselves—this book unravels the harmful narratives that continue to marginalize autistic voices. From challenging the medical model of autism to exposing the exploitation within the autism industry, each chapter tackles crucial issues with unflinching honesty and intellectual rigor.
