Abstract

This article reflects on the fraught relationship between a non-autistic ethnographer and an autistic interlocutor with the goal of suggesting that the hiatus between them stems from the existing social hierarchy between neurotypical and autistic modes of communication. Drawing on anthropology of autism and critical disability studies, the article attempts to shed light on the formation of non-autistic subjectivities with the goal of suggesting that the privilege of the usage of conventional language mystifies power relations that exclude autistics from social interactions. The creation of a socially unexpected linguistic metaphor by the autistic interlocutor reveals a conflict between the use of language as an authoritative apparatus for intelligible belonging as opposed to its use as it has been rooted in experience, with all of the pain and excitement such a conflict implies.

这篇文章反映了一个非自闭症人种学家和一个自闭症对话者之间令人担忧的关系，目的是表明他们之间的隔阂源于现有的神经典型和自闭症交流模式之间的社会等级。借助自闭症人类学和批判性残疾研究，本文试图揭示非自闭症主体性的形成，目的是表明使用传统语言的特权使将自闭症患者排除在社会交往之外的权力关系变得神秘。自闭症对话者创造了一个社会上意想不到的语言隐喻，揭示了一种冲突，一种是将语言作为可理解归属的权威工具，另一种是将语言作为根植于经验的工具，这种冲突暗示着所有的痛苦和兴奋。

期刊介绍： Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
