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

Product Information

For example there are a lot of interviews about women who work in tech or academia who have found their niche within their company and it has brought out the best in them and their neurodivergencies.

Nerenberg also offers us a path forward, describing practical changes in how we communicate, how we design our surroundings, and how we can better support divergent minds.

When we allow our wide variety of brain makeups to flourish, we create a better tomorrow for us all. Reads as an extremely out of touch hr manual which is especially jarring considering how much passion the author clearly has for the topic.But it has become common knowledge in autistic advocacy that training cops about autism hasn't resulted in cops treating Black autistic people any better. Since the book is about Gender and neurodivergence, I don't expect a deep dive on Race and ADHD/Autism however given how recently this work was published I find the sparse mentioning of race to be inadequate.

Worth the read but may make you crave for a deeper dive of a book which hopefully is on the way from Jenara or other authors.My hope is that this thought process continues to push society to think outside the box - less Dustin Hoffman's "Rain Man" or even Jim Parsons' Sheldon and more nuanced (and not necessarily male). I was very much looking forward to reading this, as the premise is laudable/something I am selfishly interested in, and I was extremely disappointed afterward.
