PSYC 132 SC - Autism Spectrum: Neuroscience, Psychology, Disabilities Studies
Autism spectrum affects the lives of about 1 child in 70, along with the lives of family members. Formally named in English in 1943 by Leo Kanner, autism spectrum is a neuroatypical range of perspectives, experiences, and neural and behavioral patterns. This course will explore the historical antecedents of autism and its formal description under a wave of psychiatric support for eugenics in the United States. We will explore current understandings of autism spectrum, and the neuroscientific and psychological methods used to research autism spectrum. In our work together, we will be guided by the voices of people with autism.
