description: “Neuroqueer Imaging” is an interdisciplinary contribution to an ongoing cultural shift regarding the life narratives of queer autistic women. Through a combination of qualitative research methods like arts based research (ABR) and feminist autoethnography, I utilize digital drawing as a language and as a means to explore the experiences, senses, and emotions of living as a queer woman on the spectrum. These image explorations are guided and interrogated through applications of critical theory that range from multiple fields —disability studies, feminist and queer theory, as well as posthumanism— and seek to show how the autistic researcher is deeply embedded and therefore best suited to contribute to autism research. “Neuroqueer Imaging” is a project that both shows autists as capable, subjective beings with a uniquely deep capacity for emotional and social intelligence, but further, it is an affective artistic experience that has life beyond the research paper: the images have capacity for multiple readings and meanings for any audience.
