Nina Thomas: Neurodivergence in Adulthood, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book offers a holistic exploration of the adult neurodivergent experience. It centres the voices and experiences of neurodivergent adults to provide an inclusive, strengths-based model that enables understanding of neurodivergence as a natural and valuable variation of human cognition.

This accessible, affirming, and internationally relevant work is structured around the most pressing and common experiences faced by late-diagnosed adults. Each chapter offers a thematic focus that builds a cohesive, empowering journey from self-discovery through to resilience and sustainable life choices. It addresses topics helping readers to navigate late diagnosis, social contexts, professional life, and mental health and therapy. The tone is practical but deeply human, blending research-informed content with the lived experiences that are too often left out of professional discourse. Combining psychological insight, practical strategies, and personal narratives, it empowers adults to understand, accept, and advocate for themselves across relationships, work environments, healthcare settings, and society at large. Through this psychologically grounded guidance, this book offers tools for healing, self-advocacy, and building a life that finally fits.

It is ideal for anyone who is navigating the complexities of late diagnosis, masking, burnout, and identity formation. It also serves as a vital resource for therapists, educators, healthcare providers, and workplace leaders seeking a more compassionate and accurate understanding of neurodivergence in adulthood and the reality of grown-up lives shaped by invisible effort and unmet needs.
