Divergent Mind: Thriving in a World That Wasn't Designed for You by Jenara Nerenberg

3.0

Best for somebody just discovering their neurodiversity or to give to family members to enlighten them on how neurodiversity impacts overlooked areas. Since the book focuses primarily on surface level destigmatization, it won't be as affirming for individuals whose neurodiversity shows up in more "severe" ways, or for those who want to fully separate from productivity as a metric for success. (There's some 'you can use your neurodiversity to do the best job!' capitalist sentiment that is a bit useless for somebody whose sensory overwhelm impacts them at a retail job, for instance.) For those seeking more information about the cross-section of neurodiversity and executive dysfunction, check out Devon Price's books.
