We need to \u003ci\u003eaccept \u003c\/i\u003edifferences rather than framing them as a problem, abnormality or disorder. Welcome to the neurodiversity paradigm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt times challenging and radical, Sonny Jane Wise explores the intersections of neurodivergence with disability, gender, sexuality and race. Through interviews, narratives, and the lens of their own raw experiences, they consider how current systems and structures that impact neurodivergent people are rooted in outdated capitalist and racist frameworks, and how these need to change and adapt to be neurodiversity affirming. Sonny Jane's words are a rallying cry to challenge the pathology paradigm. They offer nine principles for facilitating change, reflected in deeply personal stories from the neurodivergent community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePowerful and persuasive, this book is a clarion call for a kinder and more neurodiversity affirming society.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSonny Jane Wise\u003c\/b\u003e is a non-binary, disabled and neurodivergent advocate based in Australia.
