Autistic p–Oh!–Ethics
Abstract
The Autistic P-Oh!-Ethics is a manifesto and a necessarity. It is a neuromixed investigation of what collectivity might be – a collectivity running through histories and text(ure)s. The Autistic Poethics is Oh! Ethics. The Autistic Poetics use the Oh! as a mode to get to the Ethics. It is a caring for the inanimate animate. It is a caring for words. It is the essayistic stylistics filtered through the monotropic language obsession. We cannot care for you if we do not care for your words. Write, write, write. Flower. Through the form of poetry, recorded reading, and meta-text, this article examines autistic, neurodivergent and neuromixed approached to reading and writing. That includes ethical aspects of being, reading and writing in the world, violence and counteractions, play and performance.
