    Why do we love wizards? Where do these magical figures come from? Thinking Queerly traces the wizard from medieval Arthurian literature to contemporary YA adaptations. By exploring the link between Merlin and Harry Potter, or Morgan le Fay and Sabrina, readers will see how the wizard offers spaces of hope and transformation for young readers. In particular, this book examines how wizards think differently, and how this difference can resonate with both LGBTQ and neurodivergent readers, who’ve been told they don’t fit in.

    Through the convergence of disability studies and literary cognitive studies, Autistic Characters: (de)coding embedded sentiment explores depictions of autistic characters in literature with the use of close readings and scaled readings, a computational analytics method which uses sentiment analysis to decode the sentiment embedded in texts. I investigate these characters through close readings in which I explore my positionality within the major fields of study and the embedded medical and social histories coded into neuroatypical and neurodiverse literary representations of autism. Building upon the perspectives of my positionality and these histories, I explore how the substrate of literature is coded for a neurotypical and ableist focused reading. In my continued exploration of the embedded sentiment in literary constructions, I build upon the traditional close readings of autistic characters as I expand this analysis to conduct a (de)coding by scaled readings through which I produce visual representations from net sentiment (positive minus negative), total sentiment (positive plus absolute value of negative), negative sentiment, and positive sentiment measurements. These sets of visualizations are created both by chapters and in evenly spaced 500-word intervals throughout a full-length novel. To generate these scaled readings through the digital humanities method of sentiment analysis with the lexicon "bing," I use the programming language "R" to reveal the sentiment that lies latent within the texts. The visual patterns that emerge from the scaled readings provide graphical depictions from the positive and negative sentiment which allows me to re-read the text to analyze how it is coded with patterns, providing both a precise and different reading. I then further explore the origins of the code in the sentiment lexicon "bing" that generates the "positive" and "negative" data points. In this exploration, I critically examine the accuracy of this method and problematic constructions that arise from human generated lists that are used by machine learning to gauge the sentiment of words. Yet despite inaccuracies that may arise with scaled readings in combination with the biases of the lexicons, the visual patterns provide for a method of re-reading with sentiment that has not yet been explored. A method of reading that can lead to a different understanding of how the positive and negative embedded substrate generates charged sentiments which contribute to priming narrative feelings and in turn influences receptions of autistic characters.

    "What does the term "reading" mean to you? This alternative history of reading tells the stories of atypical readers and the impact had on their lives by neurological conditions affecting their ability to make sense of the printed word: from dyslexia, hyperlexia, and alexia to synesthesia, hallucinations, and dementia. The book's focus on neurodiversity aims to transform our understanding of the very concept of reading. Drawing on personal testimonies gathered from literature, film, life writing, social media, scientific journals, medical case studies, and other sources to express how cognitive differences have shaped people's experiences both on and off the page, Matthew Rubery contends that there is no single activity known as reading. Instead, there are multiple ways of reading (and, for that matter, not reading) despite the ease with which we use the term in conversation and act as if everyone does it in essentially the same fashion. Pushing us to rethink what it means to read, Reader's Block moves toward an understanding of reading as a spectrum that is capacious enough to accommodate the full range of activities documented in this fascinating and highly original book"--
