Publisher's Summary
"Neurodiversity has helped me understand myself and provided a sense of relief that I'm a whole neurodivergent person functioning as my brain intends."
"It's provided me with the language to advocate for myself."
"I no longer hated myself. I no longer felt broken. I found a sense of community. A sense of belonging"
This affirming and thoughtful guide outlines how and why we need to fundamentally shift our thinking about neurodivergent people. We need to accept differences rather than framing them as a problem, abnormality or disorder. Welcome to the neurodiversity paradigm.
At times challenging and radical, Sonny Jane Wise explores the intersections of neurodivergence with disability, gender, sexuality and race. Through interviews, narratives, and the lens of their own raw experiences, they consider how current systems and structures that impact neurodivergent people are rooted in outdated capitalist and racist frameworks, and how these need to change and adapt to be neurodiversity affirming. Sonny Jane's words are a rallying cry to challenge the pathology paradigm. They offer nine principles for facilitating change, reflected in deeply personal stories from the neurodivergent community.
Powerful and persuasive, this book is a clarion call for a kinder and more neurodiversity affirming society.

Brilliant gateway text that explores many complex concepts!
Great and thorough intro to neurodiversity, neurodivergence, the neurodiversity paradigm, anti-neuronormativity, and a whole host of other intersectional issues, including the effects of white supremacy and capitalism on multiply marginalised peoples, education systems, ‘professionalism’, access adjustments in school and workplace settings, and a lot more.
Importantly, Sonny Jane Wise gives explicit kudos to, and makes space for, other ND folks, including racialised and multiply marginalised individuals, to express themselves directly in this book. They recognise the need to pass the mic and uplift others, rather than taking any and all acclaim for themself. This is a huge factor in my appreciation for this book.
This is a book I’ll recommend to a lot of ND people I encounter who are new to neurodivergence and disability, to help provide foundations/more context to the concept of intersectionality and disability justice under the neurodivergent umbrella.
Really enjoyed it, and felt personally empowered and validated by Sonny Jane Wise’s reassurances about ND people not being broken.
Thank you, Sonny! Neurodivergent justice and interdependence forever ❤️

Important educational tool
Very educational. Unfortunately some parts were highly repetitive, hammering the point till the cows come home. The author develops a long argument about how DSM labels are inadequate and how harmful the word “disorder” is and then continues to use these labels (ADHD, bipolar). We can and need to be more rigorous and consequential.

Such informatively written
I love how it used words I could understand but also gave so much information I could absorb and use
