Niamh Garvey has provided an invaluable guide for becoming more aware of and learning to manage various aspects of life for neurodivergent people. Things that most of us never even consider can become major obstacles that seem impossible to navigate. Many who may or may not realize they're needing to cope with all the nuances she covers may find her smart observations and clever ways to function more than a little helpful. While i thought this book might be boring and too rigid for me, it was delightfully insightful in ways i might never have found on my own. Nice surprise!! How does someone so young come up with such brilliance to share? No idea. Grateful she did!!
