Enjoyed the unique premise, the book is certainly more about the author's experience with autism/adhd and her perspectives explained through science. But must admit, the idea would have worked better as one essay rather than a whole book.
pandoramedusa's review against another edition
I really liked this book. It is different from other non fiction that I have read because of the correlation the writer makes. It gives us both an insight into het mind and shows us other ways to look at things that seem mundane or too large to handle. Here are a few of my favourite thing I took away from this book:
- fear and anxiety can seem like a blinding light, you can’t look straight at it and it can feel overwhelming. But the moment you filter that light through a filter/prism the colorwaves split and become a rainbow which is much easier to decipher.
- you can look at proteins to see how being different can help you in groups and society as a whole. I really liked this take and now I know what kind of protein I am most like
