In Divergent Mind: Thriving in a World That Wasn't Designed for You, author Jenara Nerenberg explores the experiences of neurodivergent women—those with ADHD, autism, synesthesia, high sensitivity, and sensory processing disorder. She highlights how these traits are often overlooked or misdiagnosed in women due to diagnostic systems that focus primarily on male behaviors and societal expectations that encourage women to conform and mask their differences. Nerenberg combines personal narratives, including her journey, with research to challenge misconceptions about neurodiversity. She emphasizes the unique strengths and perspectives that neurodivergent women bring to society and advocates for greater recognition and accommodation of neurological diversity. The book serves as both a validation for women who feel "different" and a call for societal change to create environments where diverse minds can thrive.
