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

informative reflective medium-paced

3.75

It covers a lot of topics that I were great openers, but that other books did better.  It also used some problematic language (Asperger's, high functioning, etc) without noting the issues with this language, and it rarely cites the communities, organizers and advocates that have moved so much of this work forward... for exampling, it talked a bit about neuroqueering, but did so without referencing queer theory means you're really losing the heart of that type of work, and spoilers, it ends with a call for more women to "come out", and by using parallel language to the queer experience without also citing sources in the audiobook is alarming.

If this felt ya wanting more, I'd recommend healing Justice lineages, decolonizing therapy, unmasking autism,  or for folks who are interested in the business hr side of this conversation, the neurodiversity edge.
