Uncontrolled Keywords:	4*,4*,peer review: “the book is very much at the leading edge of autoethnographic account … this is a beautifully crafted, intensively researched book that expertly balances academic perspectives with lived experience (as a complex of ‘autobiographies’ within one body). it offers a fundamental critique of normative, classificatory psychiatry and a strong case for neurodivergence as creative expression. i am very impressed by the depth and breadth of scholarship and the aesthetic quality of the work … the account is exemplary and the shift from autobiography to autoethnography is noted as a powerful way to add an ‘observer’ identity to the multiple identities described in the country and culture that the authors inhabit as plural selves. an exemplary model of scholarship that places authorship in suspension in a derridean sense … excellent writing style – clear and accessible … ... the book’s central topics are currently ‘hot’ – it will have a long shelf-life.” ,/dk/atira/pure/researchoutput/REFrank/4_
