Develop a new understanding of neurodivergence with this thoughtful exploration of the human mind from a bestselling author and psychologist.
From ADHD and dyslexia to autism, the number of diagnosis categories listed by the American Psychiatric Association has tripled in the last fifty years. With so many people affected, it is time to revisit our perceptions of people with disabilities.
Bestselling author, psychologist, and educator Thomas Armstrong illuminates a new understanding of neuropsychological disorders. He argues that if they are a part of the natural diversity of the human brain, they cannot simply be defined as illnesses. Armstrong explores the evolutionary advantages, special skills, and other positive dimensions of these conditions.
A manifesto as well as a keenly intelligent look at "disability," The Power of Neurodiversity is a must for parents, teachers, and anyone who is looking to learn more about neurodivergence.

Critic reviews
“Parents of children who have been diagnosed as belonging to one of these groups and adults who have been living with any of these labels will find positive affirmation and encouraging advice on how to see their brain’s wiring as an asset rather than a liability.” (New York Journal of Books)

Amazing Information.

I eventually decided if I was to take a step in the right direction, the first would be to understand the umbrella of neurodiversity, which is why I got this book. Not only has it helped me understand things like ASD so much better, but it has helped me realize the importance and needed guidance in defeating stigma against labels such as the like.
This book didn't help me just understand the various labels of neurodivergency, but it helped me accept myself and people I saw with similar labels. In that very aspect, it makes a wonderful educational and self help book to those who may feel lost, or even in denial of their feelings or diagnosis.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone diagnosed, questioning, or more especially to people who know of others who are neurodiverse.
