RSA Book Award, Rhetoric Society of America, 2015."Autism and Gender is the book I was waiting for someone to write, and Jordynn Jack's insightful treatment of this timely, complex topic is a joy to read. Among its many strengths are its beautiful, well organized, easy-to-read prose, its breadth of coverage of the topic, and its careful, judicious tone."--Anna Kirkland, author of Fat Rights: Dilemmas of Difference and Personhood "Jack's perceptive book proves the persuasive power of autism's characters."--Women's Review of Books "Jack, a rhetorician, has written the first book-length examination of the role of gender in autism… a targeted and historically rich analysis of how different characters inform and shape autism discourse, offering a fruitful contribution to understandings of gender and autism spectrum disorders."--somatosphere.net"A book replete with important ideas that could easily be translated into verifiable hypotheses to be tested using representative samples and traditional methodology. Recommended."--Choice "Autism and Gender is timely, thoroughly researched, and aggravating in all the right ways. . . . From beginning to end, Jack's rhetorical history of autism admirably balances dominant biomedical perspectives with marginalized voices and beliefs."--Rhetoric & Public Affairs
