Every Brain Belongs
Autor Barry M Prizanten Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2027
As many as 20 percent of the population is neurodivergent, with conditions ranging from ADHD, autism and sensory processing differences to learning, communicating, and motor skill challenges – many of which cause significant life challenges but often go undiagnosed. Following his beloved bestseller Uniquely Human, which demystified the life experiences of autistic people, Dr. Barry Prizant now widens his lens to honor individuals with all forms of neurodivergence – and the lives of everyone who is differently wired. As he and longtime coauthor Tom Fields-Meyer explain, these unique and often misunderstood individuals do not need to be fixed, but instead more wholly understood and supported.
This remarkable book’s insights will help everyone--from educators and employers to family members, neighbors and therapists—to understand and empower neurodivergent individuals in all aspects of their lives, with compassion and confidence, and will help all readers, neurodivergent or not, develop greater personal insight and self-awareness.
Topics include:
- The Deep Why: Understanding a person's experience underlying their behavior
- Emotional Dysregulation: What it looks like and how to prevent it
- A Life to Match Your Brain: What we gain from lifestyles and relationships that work in sync with our wiring
- Lessons from nonspeakers: What we can learn from the most misunderstood neurodivergent people
- Profiles in Neurodiversity: Real-life examples of courage and creativity
- The Gift of Neurodivergence: Talents and treasures neurodivergent people bring to our lives
Positive, humane, and life-affirming, Every Brain Belongs celebrates the depth and value of every person – and how communities are beginning to find creative and comprehensive ways to include and embrace a wide range of minds.
