Nonsense and Hopeful Songs: My Inner Fight To Be Heard
Charles Lenny Lunn, nonspeaking autistic poet and painter, came into the world on June 2, 1990, in London, England. Not using speech like other children, he spent years hiding in his imaginary universe and thinking about a truly just space in stark contrast to the ones that exist in the boarding schools and autism specialty centers in the real world. Learning to communicate on letter boards opened new tasks of high artistry for Charles.

We See Things They’ll Never See: Love, Hope, and Neurodiversity
Throughout the book, Lewis and Arday use theories of Blackness, feminism, class, and neurodivergence to offer a vision of solidarities across differences. They show that race, class, ethnicity, gender, and nation are just some of the social structures for which the politics of neurodiversity can produce an emancipatory analysis. This is a book about applying social theory in practice, taking seriously how academic research and theory can be used outside of academic spaces. With We See Things They’ll Never See, Lewis and Arday issue a call to action—and a call for understanding, acceptance, and humility.
