Djur/Djurmetaforer och naturen i periferin i Fredrik Backmans Björnstad
Fredrik Backmans Björnstad-trilogi (2016-2021) handlar om den fiktiva svenska småstaden Björnstad och hur staden påverkas av att en ung tjej våldtas av en av ortens lovande unga hockeytalanger. I artikeln undersöks hur djur och djurmetaforer används för att skapa en berättelse om kollektivitet och periferi.

Moving Through a Textual Space Autistically
This article is an investigation of neurodivergent reading practices. It is a collectively written paper where the focus is as much on an autoethnographic exploration of our autistic readings of autism/autistic fiction as it is on the read texts themselves. The reading experiences described come primarily from Yoon Ha Lee’s Dragon Pearl (2019) and Dahlia Donovan’s The Grasmere Cottage Mystery (2018), which we experience as opposite each other in …
Navigating Moralization, Normalizing, and Radicality
Empathy with Nature and an Autistic Spirituality
Anna Stenning does in the anthology Neurodiversity. A New Critical Paradigm (2020) introduce an autistic ethics using the autobiographies of Greta Thunberg (No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference (2019)) and Temple Grandin (Animals in Translation (2005)). Stenning points to how this autistic ethics do expand its acts of care to the more-than-human. Grandin describes her being in the world as more attuned to animals than humans. Thunberg argues …
I am that name? naming neurotypical imaginaries of the sole autist in autistic/autism fiction
This paper explores neurodivergent readings of different fiction and non-fiction novels with explicitly “diagnosed” “autistic characters”, or what McGrath (2017) has referred to as ‘named’ representations of autism, and where “autism” is a central part of the plot. We discuss the impact of neurotypical naming and neurotypical texts; what explicit referencing to “autism” and “autistic characters” do in the case of fiction and non-fiction novels ai…
ADHD in higher education and academia
In this paper we explore our own experiences of barriers to learning and academic knowledge production in academia and higher education. Our analyses are based on our collective autoethnographical accounts from our own experiences of ADHD and higher education, with a particular focus on post graduate education and our experiences of ADHD peer support in academic knowledge production. In our analysis, we have distinguished between three different …

Meeting up in broken word/times
The article investigates letter writing as a way to explore neurodiverse collectives, neuromixed communication and neurodiverse research collaboration. From the perspective of neurodiversity studies and translation practice/studies, the article negotiates new perspectives of inherited images of neurological selves and others, such as the non-autistic as the 'typical' in contrast to the 'atypical' autistic person. Experimenting with autistic time,…
Naming ourselves, becoming neurodivergent scholars
In this paper we seek to restory what has been storied as "the problem of ADHD".Informed by calls for a critical ADHD studies, we explore the possibilities of ADHD collective autoethnographic storytelling.Together we (en)counter narratives of ADHD.Within our collective writing space, from our ADHD/AuDHD bodyminds, we seek to re-story our ADHD/AuDHD.We map a field of critical ADHD research within social sciences and point out problems of outsider …
Intensity and Variable Attention
Literature on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has historically come from a cognitive deficit approach and lacked community authorship. In contrast, this article utilises a neurodiversity framework to explore ADHD as a cognitive difference through ADHDers’ experiences. Specifically, here we analyse collective autoethnographic writings from neurodivergent academic researchers writing to one other about their experiences of intensity…
