Nick Walker's Neuroqueer Heresies examines and pushes beyond the neurodiversity paradigm. This collection begins with the origins and impact of our modern concept of neurodiversity, takes a deep dives specifically into autism, and ends with mind-opening explorations of what it means to neuroqueer. While the language throughout the book can be dense and "academic", this is cearly in the service of specificity and precision, and I appreciated the care and thought put into every word.

I feel like I have been waiting for this book!!!! if u are neurodivergent, know someone neurodivergent, or are someone who considers themselves neurotypical and are also sick of neuronormativity, or are just generally someone who cares about ur fellow humans, please read this! provides rly useful language, conscise definitions, beautifully radical envisionings of post-normativity, all in bite-size essay format that isn't laden down with jargon~ please please pleasssee read this book so we can all get neuroqueering together~ it's deeply rewarding and an essential part of human liberation!
