A Change of Perspective

How many people have been passed over, misunderstood, maligned, underestimated or even vilified for being neurodiverse? We didn't even have that term when I was a kid, and I shudder to think of the judgment that was passed on people who didn't fit the "norm" back then. Turns out being differently wired is lots more common that one would think. What is normal anyway? As I read this book I realize that there is, indeed a spectrum, and we're all somewhere on it, but it seems like more of a spiderweb design than linear when you get right down to it. There are so many things that deviate from typical, and is that so bad? Do we want to be like Pringle-like humans? These unique folks are the ones who create, invent, perfect and streamline. In Differently Wired, Deborah celebrates diversity and gives practical, sensitive advice to those who are close to someone for whom the descriptor applies.
