Chasing the Intact Mind
In Chasing the Intact Mind, Amy Lutz traces the history of the "intact mind" concept, explaining how it influences current disability policy and practice in the United States. Lutz describes how we got to this moment, where the severely autistic are elided out of public discourse and the intensive, disability-specific supports they need defunded or closed altogether.
