Abstract

This review article discusses the monograph Spektrum opowieści. Bohaterowie w spektrum autyzmu w literaturze dla dzieci i młodzieży XXI w. w świetle teorii neuroróżnorodności [A Spectrum of Stories: Characters on the Autism Spectrum in 21st-Century Children’s and Young Adult Literature in Light of Neurodiversity Theory] by Katarzyna Mikke (2024). The book analyses the literary representations of autism in both Polish and English-language children’s and young adult books as well as examines how various types of autistic characters have evolved over the past 30 years. This paper serves both as a summary of the publication and a critical commentary.
