Abstract
DisCrit, critical race theory, disability rights, deficit thinking, and critical PR all lend themselves to a strong argument for autism inclusion in general education settings. In this chapter, an inclusion framework based upon multidisciplinary scholarship is offered for use across not only teacher preparation, but also industry sectors, higher education, K12 districts, and school sites. Theoretically, the multidisciplinary scholarship leading to this curriculum was detailed with a new proposed AutCrit scholarship examined and considered. The tools of a future with a possible AutCrit scholarship would use new tools and new ways of thinking built on the critical scholarship and rejecting tools of historic oppression that led to the challenges that both individuals with autism and the practices of inclusion face in parallel today.
