The Misunderstood Mind: What We Got Wrong About Autism, ADHD, and Neurodivergence is officially out in the world.
This book brings together so much of what I’ve learned over the years—through my professional work, research, lived experience, and thousands of conversations with neurodivergent people and the people who love them.
At its core, this book is about the stories we’ve been told about people who think, feel, experience, and move through the world differently—what we’ve gotten wrong, why we’ve gotten it wrong, and what becomes possible when we begin to change those stories. Because greater understanding doesn’t just change how we see one another; it changes how we connect with one another.
And on Thursday, I want to tell you a story about a conversation I had with one of my neighbors—a high school senior—and what happened when he started asking me questions about his own misunderstood mind.
Sometimes, one conversation really can change everything.
Thank you for being here for this.
