Inhaltsangabe

How do governments around the world respond to autism?
From early diagnosis and intervention to education, healthcare, and social inclusion, autism has become a defining global policy challenge of the 21st century. Yet responses vary widely between nations, reflecting differences in resources, cultural attitudes, and rights-based frameworks.

In Governing Autism: Global Policies, Practices, and Futures, Dr. Canute White presents a comprehensive analysis of autism governance across multiple countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Jamaica, Sweden, South Africa, China, and India. Drawing on international research, legal frameworks, and advocacy movements, this book highlights both the progress and the persistent gaps in autism policy worldwide.

📖 Inside you will discover:

• The history and evolution of autism in policy and law.

• How nations approach screening, diagnosis, and early intervention.

• Comparative perspectives on healthcare systems and therapy access.

• Education reforms and challenges in inclusive schooling.

• Autism across the lifespan: employment, adult services, and community living.

• The impact of the neurodiversity movement and global rights frameworks.

• Future directions, including technology, international cooperation, and equity.

Written in a clear, accessible style yet grounded in academic rigor, this book is an essential resource for:

• Students and educators in health, education, and social sciences.

• Policymakers and advocates shaping autism strategies.

• Health and allied professionals seeking a comparative global perspective.

• Families and communities invested in autism inclusion and equity.

Governing Autism is more than a textbook—it is a call to action for societies to recognize autism not only as a health and education issue, but as a matter of rights, equity, and human dignity.
