Divergent Mind: Thriving in a World That Wasn't Designed for You by Jenara Nerenberg
3.0
While I didn’t love this book it provided a lot of really interest in for to help me wrap my head around, to learn and grow. The thing I keep saying as I learn more and more about being a recently diagnosed neurodivergent (Autistic & ADHD) individual is, “a light has been turned on, I now have words to explain what I’ve been experiencing for decades.”
This passage says it better:
“I had zero vocabulary about neurodiversity—and no one else around me had that vocabulary either. I felt judged, criticized, and undervalued by my coworkers and by society as a whole.”
Content-wise, this book gave me a little more light. It wasn’t compelling or earth shattering, and that’s ok. What I got from it help.
I do recognize and acknowledge the book was written from the perspective of the under researched and under diagnosed community of women who have been frequently brushed aside by medical providers. I was not the target audience. My therapist thought it would help me and I appreciate the recommendation.
