Ranges from ADHD to autism to schizophrenia,and other modes of perception, devoting a chapter to each.Armstrong points to why the gene pool has retained the option of these neurodiverse patterns.He argues for a positive perspective, finding niches that allow these individuals to bring their strengths to careers that capitalize on their abilities rather than labeling their deviation from the norm as a disability.As a retired teacher I have given this book to former students who have chosen the teaching profession.Reads well with The Spark.
This book is full of information and served completely to change my mindset about neurodiversity, so that I feel empowered and better equipped to advocate for my son; and more hopeful for his future than ever before.
This is near the top of my list of "Must Read" books. I especially liked his observation that there is no "standard brain" locked away in a vault somewhere. All aspects of brain function exhibit a continuum of ability.
