But back then his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires.

Patric Gagne realized she made others uncomfortable before she even started kindergarten. Something about her caused people to react in a way she didn’t understand. She suspected it was because she didn’t feel things the way other kids did. Emotions like fear, guilt, and empathy eluded her. For the most part, she felt nothing. And she didn’t like the way that “nothing” felt.

In truth, it is both of these things and more - and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years.

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 affected, it is time to revisit our perceptions of people with disabilities. 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.

In this book, Bianca Toeps explains in great detail what life is like when you’re autistic. She does this by looking at what science says about autism (and why some theories can go straight in the trash), but also by telling her own story and interviewing other autistics.

For decades the practice of manifestation has been widely dismissed as self-involved, materialistic pseudoscience. But as neuroscientist and recognized compassion leader Dr. James Doty reveals, manifestation introduces us to different possibilities, and it lays the groundwork for a kinder, better world. Doty grounds us in the practices that change our brain structures: attention, meditation, visualization, and compassion. This mind magic allows us to move through the world in ways that help us see clearly.

From the celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist, a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior, both good and bad, and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do? Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: He starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.

Story
Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.

For most of my guests, it’s the first time they’ve agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview.

Although clinical research has been conducted on narcissism as a disorder, less is known about its effects on victims who are in toxic relationships with partners with Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Individuals with this disorder engage in chronic devaluation and manipulation of their partners, a psychological and emotional phenomenon known as "narcissistic abuse". Unfortunately, the full extent of what narcissistic abuse entails is not taught in any psychology class or diagnostic manual.

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 affected, it is time to revisit our perceptions of people with disabilities. 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.

ADHD in adults is one of the most common disorders. Living with ADHD in our later years is hugely influenced by multiple factors: co-occurring issues, such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and learning disorders combined with a heightened level of stress, the presence or lack of support from others, and the number of people we are responsible for, can complicate and intensify the effects of ADHD. The good news is that you’ve come to the right place to learn more about how older adults with ADHD can lead calmer, happier, more productive lives.

Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years.

A memoir-in-essays both entertaining and enlightening, I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is for people with ADHD, as well as those who know and love them.

The future of our society depends on our gifted children - the population in which we'll find our next Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, or Virginia Woolf. Yet the gifts and talents of some of our most brilliant kids may never be recognized because these children fall into a group known as twice exceptional, or "2e". Twice exceptional kids are both gifted and diagnosed with a disability - often ADHD or an autism spectrum disorder - leading teachers and parents to overlook the child's talents and focus solely on his weaknesses.

Maureen’s evidence-based suggestions are clear, actionable, and logical. This book was so exciting to study, I bought the physical book to read as I listened! I am so excited to apply these concepts as a nonprofit manager. Learning about the different kinds of biases as they apply to neurodivergence and hiring was particularly illuminating.

Brilliant book, outstanding performance
I heard about this book from Dax Shepard while listening to Dr. Dunne on his podcast, Armchair Expert. I had high expectations for this book but reading it exceeded my expectations. Super insightful book and what an enjoyable read too! I read the hardcover and also listened to the audiobook. I learned so much and loved the writing style. Remarkable book, highly recommended. The performance of the narrator is outstanding.

Instant classic. Incredible
The author delivered on every count. The argument throughout is rock solid and eye-opening. The writing is just exquisite. The depth of research is phenomenal. So many engaging anecdotes. So many clever metaphors. This is a breakthrough book on the topic of neurodiversity and its role in society. And a game-changing guide for organizational leaders, as well as parents of neurodivergent kids -- like me -- in terms of understanding what the future holds. I would also say that I have been an audible subscriber for over two decades with hundreds of audiobooks in my library. And the narration for this book is genuinely one of the best performances I have ever heard. Clearly, Nan is talented and deeply cared about this topic and this book, and she knocks it completely out of the park. Five stars on every level!

Woke
As a neurodivergent human; I find this book offensive and full of woke victimhood endorsements.
My guess is that majority of people like me don’t care to have people like you creating a victim mentality/environment on their behalf.
It’s insulting.
Forcing/shaming corporations (people) to engage in woke ideology is sick and wrong.
It works counter to what you believe you are accomplishing.
My personal journey from front-line contributor to COO of a multiple billion dollar corporation didn’t require special accommodation- it required acknowledgment of skills and gaps.
And it was on me to adapt.
Please have the decency to donate the profit you made from me to a less woke neurodivergent cause.
