Description: Radical, accepting and kind. This is the neurodiversity paradigm. This guide challenges your assumptions of who is and isn't neurodivergent with own voice narratives reflecting on intersections of race, gender and sexuality and directly opposes the pathology paradigm. At its heart, it is a rallying cry to be a neurodiversity affirming society.
Brief description:
Sonny Jane Wise is a non-binary and disabled Autistic Bipolar ADHDer. Sonny is an internationally recognised speaker, author, consultation and creator as well as the founder of the Drop In Care Space; a peer led community space for LGBTQIA+, disabled and neurodivergent individuals to connect with community, activities and resources.
Sonny was diagnosed as a child and grew up only hearing a deficit narrative about their neurodivergence. Since then, they have gone on to build an audience of over 100, 000 people online, wrote The Neurodivergent Friendly Workbook of DBT Skills and has worked with organisations around Australia to help change the narrative on neurodiversity and neurodivergence.
Review Quotes: Sonny has been such a huge part of my personal education around neurodivergence, and We're All Neurodiverse is an incredible addition to that. It's given me so much to think about (both personally and professionally), and is such a necessary book for both neurodivergent people and neurotypical allies to read.--Ellie Middleton, Autistic ADHDer, content creator, speaker and writer
