Research Summary
I am looking at the preliminary results of this project which suggest that some of the classical cognitive theories do not translate into the moving image with the cross disciplinary implications that the current “science” does not tell the whole story in that the neglected “humanities” have as much if not more to inform us about the lived world of the autistic individual.
