Why I wrote… 'We're All Neurodiverse'

'I was exposed to the psychiatric system and taught there was something wrong with me from an early age; the neurodiversity paradigm was the framework I had been looking for. When I learnt about neurodivergence, it was exactly what I needed to unpack and unlearn the years of shame and blame that the pathology paradigm taught me. It's why I wrote this book; to give other people the opportunity to discover a new lens, to challenge the concept of disorder and begin to identify and decenter neuronormativity. When we decenter neuronormativity, we can actually accept the different ways people function.'
