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.
