How can we break the systems excluding autistic people from higher
education? Universities and colleges are built on systems that by
nature exclude autistic students, since they're built on neurotypical
foundations. As one of the few actually autistic higher education
mentors for autistic students in the UK, Jorik Mol seeks to improve
autistic students' lives by validating their experience and
challenging universities to listen to them. Drawing from his own lived
experience, and building on case studies, working alongside his
mentees, Mol offers guidance on how to best support students,
emphasising the need to normalise radical empathy, values-driven
motivation and self-advocacy. Exploring topics including community,
boundaries, and burn-out, while pushing hard against the status quo,
this book is ideal reading for students of Education, Disability
Studies, Sociology, Psychology, and Queer and LGBTQ+ Studies, as well
as education practitioners and policymakers.
