Aut-ethnography: working from the ‘inside-out’. | The Autism Anthropologist
https://theautismanthropologist.wordpress.com/2015/01/19/aut-ethnography-working-from-the-inside-out
Autism seen from an anthropological perspective. Some of) My Favourite Blogs. Aut-ethnography: working from the ‘inside-out’. And you may ask yourself, well how did I get here? Talking Heads ‘Once in a Lifetime’). On a pragmatic level, this means that one may not be able to ‘walk the walk’, but one may be able to gain a level of understanding of autistic ‘talk’ (whether verbally articulated or not). Arnold, L. (2012) Autism: its relationship to science and to people with the condition. Vol 1(3): http:/ w...

The Horse Boy | The Autism Anthropologist
https://theautismanthropologist.wordpress.com/2014/04/11/the-horse-boy
Autism seen from an anthropological perspective. Some of) My Favourite Blogs. I haven’t written about documentaries so far in this blog, and so I figured I should probably begin this post by laying out some basic truths about documentary films. You know, just so we’re on all the same page here. A documentary film uses selective filming, editing, and narration to tell the viewer the story. It wishes to tell. Picture; and they don’t necessarily nor are they obliged to give even. Was, in a way, an important...

The Friendship Factor | The Autism Anthropologist
https://theautismanthropologist.wordpress.com/2015/05/05/the-friendship-factor
Autism seen from an anthropological perspective. Some of) My Favourite Blogs. Ethos a well-respected psychological anthropology journal has already established itself as a very reputable publication when it comes to the social study of autism. It had actually once devoted an entire issue. To the topic; and that special issue has provided us, in my view, with some of the best works on the social reality of the condition to date. Recently, Ethos has published yet another article on autism. At least I think...

Autism seen from an anthropological perspective. Some of) My Favourite Blogs. My Name is Khan. My Name is Khan. Rizvan Khan grows up in a Mumbai neighborhood possibly a slum. He is different from the other children; he takes things way too literally; loud noises and big crowds make him anxious; he dislikes being hugged, and gets upset by the color yellow (is a disliking of one specific color in any way common among autistics? What an interesting statement. Why was it put there? Is no exception. But h...

Temple Grandin | The Autism Anthropologist
https://theautismanthropologist.wordpress.com/2014/02/01/temple-grandin
Autism seen from an anthropological perspective. Some of) My Favourite Blogs. In fact, I have a strong feeling that (warning: cliché) this film was one of the reasons that made me want to study autism in the first place. I was slightly hesitant before watching it again earlier this week. Was it really that good, I asked myself, or was I simply too naïve back then? Won’t I be terribly disappointed? I was happy to find I was wrong. Were not (as is often the case) rushing to spread some simplistic message a...

https://theautismanthropologist.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/autism-and-equine-therapy-the-horses-they-just-know
Autism seen from an anthropological perspective. Some of) My Favourite Blogs. Autism and equine therapy: The horses, they just know. In this most recent post in our series of guest posts by anthropologists studying autism, it’s a pleasure to have Roslyn Malcolm. A horse trainer once said to me, ‘Animals don’t think, they just make associations’. I responded to that by saying, ‘If making associations is not thinking, then I would have to conclude that I do not think.’ (Grandin, 1997: 141). One practitione...
