In recent decades in this country, there has been increasing education and activism relating to both autism and neurodiversity. The latter term reflects the understanding that human brains operate along a spectrum of different traits, rather than deviating from an unspoken norm. In a fascinating reappraisal, publishing and inclusion consultant Jo revisits characters from classic fiction and applies the lens of what we know now to their experiences and behaviours.
