Über diesen Titel
A paradigm-shifting study of neurodivergent women - those with ADHD, autism, synesthesia, high sensitivity, and sensory processing disorder - exploring why these traits are overlooked in women and how society benefits from allowing their unique strengths to flourish.
As a successful Harvard and Berkeley-educated writer, entrepreneur, and devoted mother, Jenara Nerenberg was shocked to discover that her "symptoms" - only ever labeled as anxiety - were considered autistic and ADHD. Being a journalist, she dove into the research and uncovered neurodiversity - a framework that moves away from pathologizing "abnormal" versus "normal" brains and instead recognizes the vast diversity of our mental makeups.
When it comes to women, sensory processing differences are often overlooked, masked, or mistaken for something else entirely. Between a flawed system that focuses on diagnosing younger, male populations, and the fact that girls are conditioned from a young age to blend in and conform to gender expectations, women often don't learn about their neurological differences until they are adults, if at all. As a result, potentially millions live with undiagnosed or misdiagnosed neurodivergences, and the misidentification leads to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and shame. Meanwhile, we all miss out on the gifts their neurodivergent minds have to offer.
Divergent Mind is a long-overdue, much-needed answer for women who have a deep sense that they are "different". Sharing real stories from women with high sensitivity, ADHD, autism, misophonia, dyslexia, SPD, and more, Nerenberg explores how these brain variances present differently in women and dispels widely-held misconceptions (for example, it's not that autistic people lack sensitivity and empathy, they have an overwhelming excess of it).
Nerenberg also offers us a path forward, describing practical changes in how we communicate, how we design our surroundings, and how we can better support divergent minds. When we allow our wide variety of brain makeups to flourish, we create a better tomorrow for us all.

So happy :)
This book was precisely what I needed to hear about and grasp on the topic of neurodivergence. So grateful for this writing and sharing of various experiences from afab folks.

Not only for women
This books targets mostly female audience, but as an unofficially diagnosed ADHD and autistic male person, that is also working as a medical doctor this book speaks to me on so many levels. Though I don't have emotional hypersensitivity like female neurodivergents have (more a typical male emotional hypo-sensitivity especially for people in their environment/Umwelt). There is a definitive lack of knowledge inside the medical profession on this topic, since we only learn about the extremes of the spectrum and nothing about how the typical presentation is sex dependent. If you have someone in your family/loved one/think you yourself is neurodivergent I would recommend this book wholeheartedly.

Best money and time I've ever spent on a book.
Nothing ever made me feel more understood and validated than this book. I don't really like the speaker but it's not that bad. Even if you're not neurodiverse, everyone can benefit from the informations and destigmatizing perspective the author presents. I love this book.

Good book, but difficult to listen to
I think the book ifself is well made; great research and everything- but maybe not that suitable for someone struggling with attention deficit in general. I've choose the audio book because I can't read well for a long period of time. But in the first chapter I quickly noticed that I got bored and the readers voice didn't keep me interested at all. In general the topic itself is very interesting to me, but her reading style is very monotone- so I literally kept fading away the whole time. I probably didn't even hear a chunk of information... Which is sad and not the authors fault- but maybe consider the needs of neurodivergent people when that's your main audience.
