A Mismatch of Salience brings together a range of Damian Milton's
writings that span more than a decade. The book explores the
communication and understanding difficulties that can create barriers
between people on the autism spectrum and neurotypical people. It
celebrates diversity in communication styles and human experience by re
framing the view that autistic people represent a 'disordered other' not
as an impairment, but a two-way mismatch of salience. It also looks at
how our current knowledge has been created by non-autistic people on the
'outside', looking in. A Mismatch of Salience attempts to redress this
balance.
