Divergent Mind: Thriving in a World That Wasn't Designed for You
by Jenara Nerenberg
I don’t think this book represented the autism community very well. The majority of autistic people it focused on were late-diagnosed verbal white cis women who are able to work. Not to mention her acting like HSP is a diagnosis-it’s basically other neurotypes in disguise. I also didn’t like that she didn’t address the controversy with the “Asperger’s” label. It’s very anti-Semitic to keep using it. While some of the tips were helpful the author needs to keep in mind that not everyone can afford all the accommodations for home she mentions. I wish the book had focused more on autistics who had high support needs were nonspeaking LGBTQ+ or people of color. While I understand this book may be helpful for some late-diagnosed women there are a lot better resources out there for autistic folks.
