    Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research is an international peer-reviewed journal aiming to disseminate leading social research on disability.

    The journal’s defining characteristic is a focus on the relationship between persons with disabilities and their environments, it is multi-disciplinary in scope incorporating research from a variety of perspectives including:

    - Educational
    - Sociological
    - Socio-psychological
    - Historical
    - Legal
    - Economics
    - Socio-medical
    - Cultural Studies
     -Social Policy 

    The journal was established by the Nordic Network on Disability Research, an association that has as one of its objectives to facilitate the sharing and dissemination of social research on disability in the five Nordic countries. An important ambition is to encourage researchers from all countries to submit articles for publication, as well as to be a source of information about what is going on in critical research on disability internationally. This policy is reflected in the panel of consulting editors from several different countries.

    We are at a crucial point in the development of critical autism studies. While there has been a growth in publications and events on this topic, there is also a growing divide between autistic-led and other scholarship in the area (Milton, 2016). Furthermore, critical research on neurodivergent ways of being different than autism, such as ADHD, is often situated outside of Disability Studies, primarily within the fields of medical sociology or critical mental health.
