Autism and the Empathy Epidemic, Paperback/***

Embedded in film studies and neurodiversity scholarship, this open access book challenges the widespread idea that autism is an epidemic characterised predominantly by a deficit of empathy, arguing that the reverse is true: we are living through an empathy epidemic in which autism is the outcast.
