“For the first time someone understood”
Autism has come to be portrayed as something complex, ambiguous, and heterogeneous. I therefore contend that what is now needed are analytical tools to further explicate the modalities of this heterogeneity and ambiguity. I propose that one way forward is to draw on analytical vocabularies intended for analyses of the (non)coherence of phenomena, more specifically Law et al.’s concept modes of syncretism. I employ this concept to stage a theoreti…

Studying the history of the profession can thus shed light o…
