Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “The Construction of Autism: Between Reflective and Background Knowledge” by Maciej Wodziński & Paulina Gołaska-Ciesielska. Abstract: I argue that the importance of self-illness ambiguity for the social perception of autism is not sufficiently acknowledged, and offer some suggestions for follow-up research.
