« Pour rien au monde, je n'échangerais ma vie contre celle d'un neurotypique ». Aurélie Cevennes est née autiste. Un mot qui, aujourd'hui, ne veut plus rien dire tant il recouvre d'acceptations différentes au regard des progrès des neurosciences. Il n'empêche, avec sa famille, cette jeune Belge de 28 ans a traversé toutes les épreuves liées à sa différence : un diagnostic très tardif ; une scolarité chamboulée ; des relations sociales marquées par l'incompréhension, les moqueries et les mises au ban ; un départ difficile dans la vie professionnelle, etc. Aujourd'hui, elle est ? ère de ce qu'elle est devenue : une jeune adulte assumant pleinement ce qu'elle est, débarrassée de ses complexes et de ses angoisses. Pour y arriver, elle s'est battue d'arrache-pied contre les préjugés, les codes dominants et les conventions sociales aveugles. Parce qu'il relate mille situations quotidiennes vécues, cet ouvrage permet de se glisser dans la peau d'une enfant puis d'une adolescente autiste. Révélant pour la première fois publiquement son syndrome, l'auteure transmet sa force et son courage non seulement à ceux qui vivent la même situation qu'elle mais aussi à toutes les personnes marquées par la différence ou la singularité : de genre, de culture, d'origine, etc. un appel à l'émancipation et au changement de regard.

Global awareness of autism has skyrocketed since the 1980s, and popular culture has caught on, with film and television producers developing ever more material featuring autistic characters. Autism in Film and Television brings together more than a dozen essays on depictions of autism, exploring how autistic characters are signified in media and how the reception of these characters informs societal understandings of autism. Editors Murray Pomerance and R. Barton Palmer have assembled a pioneering examination of autism’s portrayal in film and television. Contributors consider the various means by which autism has been expressed in films such as Phantom Thread, Mercury Rising, and Life Animated and in television and streaming programs including Atypical, Stranger Things, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Community. Across media, the figure of the brilliant, accomplished, and “quirky” autist has proven especially appealing. Film and television have thus staked out a progressive position on neurodiversity by insisting on screen time for autism but have done so while frequently ignoring the true diversity of autistic experience. As a result, this volume is a welcome celebration of nonjudgmental approaches to disability, albeit one that is still freighted with stereotypes and elisions.

This book collects recent research in the field of care for neurodevelopmental disorders, emphasizing transdisciplinary work in clinical, educational and family contexts. It presents an opportunity to learn about the impact of participation on children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders. Mainly, new therapeutic approaches are presented in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or motor coordination disorders.

Down syndrome (DS), caused by the triplication of chromosome 21, is the most common genetic cause of intellectual disability (ID). Individuals with DS commonly exhibit unique neuropsychological profiles that emerge during specific developmental stages across the lifespan, often characterized by early developmental delay, cognitive strengths and weaknesses, behavior and mental health issues, and age-related cognitive decline, frequently resulting in early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. These profiles are unique compared to other individuals with ID and reflect the genetic mechanisms and neuroanatomic features underlying the distinct neuropsychological phenotype associated with DS. This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advancements in understanding the neuropsychological phenotype associated with DS across the lifespan. The lifespan perspective will cover four developmental stages: (1) early childhood; (2) school age; (3) young adulthood, and (4) older adulthood. Authors contributed cutting-edge original research studies and comprehensive reviews that address a broad range of topics related to DS, including early developmental trajectories, cognitive functioning, language, adaptive skills, behavior and mental health, assessment and diagnosis, age-related cognitive decline, and medical issues related to the neuropsychological phenotype and neuroimaging.
