The perspective of Nerenberg's work felt highly privileged, especially in terms of class & race. Despite its effort to shift & expand current attitudes on neurodivergence AND convey the importance of neurodiversity, the work centered on white, cisgender, heterosexual upper-socioeconomic feminism. On multiple occasions, Nerenberg framed racial injustice as ‘a product of the past’ rather than an ever present & nuanced reality. Additionally, she used outdated (and harmful) terminology. For example, her use of "Asperger's" and "high/low functioning." For a book published recently (2020), it REALLY missed the mark. It was not worth my time to continue, especially while striving for intersectional (disability) justice.
