Summary |
'The lack of information around how ADHD and autism shows up in adults means that many of us have been assuming we were anxious, not working hard enough, or just entirely failing altogether.' - Jess Joy and Charlotte Mia Authored by two late-diagnosed neurodivergent women and the founders of fast-growing online community @IAmPayingAttention, 'How Not to Fit In' is a handbook-meets-rallying cry. Foregrounding women's experiences with autism and ADHD, it explores the journey women go on to discovering and accepting that they are neurodivergent, why getting diagnosis can be so fraught and gendered, and how to navigate a world which centres neurotypical brains in the realms of relationships, careers, friendships and finances. |
