When I wrote A Mind Apart: Travels in A Neurodiverse World I began asking anyone who would answer the question how they think. But I had no onset of psychotic “disorder.” Diaries I kept starting at the age of 11 recall many out-of-consensus beliefs. And I believed my mind helped me to slow down. You can see all of what you’ve lived as part of the beautiful person you are. It’s time for conversations about neurodiversity to become standard practice in medicine, along with humility about something as complex as the mind.
