DESCRIPTION:How typical is typical? Mind\, History and Society Seminar\n\
 nMonday 18 May\, 16:00-17:30 BST\n\nCHSTM Seminar Room\, 2.57 Simon Buil
 ding\n\nJoin us for our next Mind\, History and Society seminar\, presen
 ted by writer\, historian and advocate Brandy Schillace. The seminar wil
 l take place in the CHSTM Seminar Room\, 2.57 Simon Building.\nHow typic
 al is typical? We talk about the autism spectrum\, but “neurotypical” is
  often treated as though it exists outside\, such that we still end up w
 ith binary thinking: ND vs NT. My current research asks what do we mean 
 by “neurotypical”? Is this a social term about conforming to standards? 
 Is it a scientific term about the way brains work? Where are the “edges”
  of “typical”? As we watch a new panic unfolding in the USA around autis
 m\, a resurgence of “cure” narratives\, and attacks on disabled autonomy
 \, it is more important than ever to see there is more that unites us th
 an divides us\, a blurring of the line between divergent and typical\, w
 ithout erasing diagnostic difference or support through accessibility\, 
 for the flourishing of every kind of mind.\n\nAttendance free – all welc
