ABSTRACT

In this article, I provide an ethnographic account of an autistic-run community for adults in a North American city. By spending time with each other in loosely structured social interactions, members of this group participate in the ongoing construction of a complex and necessary social infrastructure in the face of often inadequate social and material support from their personal networks, and the larger society in which they live. The work this community does remains largely invisible because it runs counter to dominant biomedical understandings of autism and exists outside of the autism treatment industry.

无形的自闭症基础设施：对自闭症社区的人种学思考

抽象的

在本文中，我提供了一个自闭症管理的针​​对北美城市成年人的社区的人种志记录。面对彼此松散的社会互动，他们的成员在个人网络以及他们所处的更大社会中经常缺乏足够的社会和物质支持，从而参与了复杂而必要的社会基础设施的持续建设居住。这个社区所做的工作在很大程度上仍然是隐形的，因为它与自闭症的主流生物医学理解背道而驰，并且存在于自闭症治疗行业之外。
