Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “The Construction of Autism: Between Reflective and Background Knowledge” by Maciej Wodziński & Paulina Gołaska-Ciesielska. Abstract: Two proposals are made to encourage a radical constructivist elaboration in the area of autism research: The need for abandoning the incoherent structure of the DSM categories, and to get “outside” of the limiting conditions of the dominant notions of “category” by returning to the anti-abstractionism critiques of Berkeley and others.
