Concept
Coalition-building within the autistic rights movement and "identifying with"
- Coalition building has been central to the autistic rights movement.
- Professor Sami Schalk's notion of "identifying with" is useful in coalition building as a framework to understand ways individuals and groups identify with each other.
- Identifying with appears to occur between autistic communities and the broader disability rights movements and communities within the neurodiversity paradigm as members support those broader objectives and initiatives while not viewing themselves to be one and the same.
- Cross-organizational coalition-building is complementary to "identifying with" as ways to tie together applications of both intersectionality theory and the neurodiversirty paradigm.
