Two articles by autistic authors but with very different views were published in the March 2018 volume of Disability & Society. One article expressed concern that there is a growing disdain for scientific knowledge among autistic autism researchers and an atmosphere of hostility towards non-autistic autism researchers. The other article provides concrete evidence of these concerns. It attacks the scholarship of non-autistic authors whose work offends them and proposes that non-autistic authors be excluded from 'Critical Autism Studies'. This Current Issues present article critiques these two publications and proposes a way forward that involves critical thinking and proposing alternative interpretations. A couple of examples of what this might look like are given. The article argues that both autistic and non-autistic researchers have a part to play in moving knowledge about autism forward and both should be allowed to critique the other. [Résumé d'auteur]
