PRAISE FOR

The Power of Neurodiversity

“This quietly spoken book is at its strongest when examining the ideology itself and outlining the arguments in its favor. It is sensible in examining how other cultures, past and present, have accepted forms of neurodiversity, and it is wise in its critique of the use of normative standardizations to identify objectives in education and society in general.”
—Times Higher Education Supplement
“Armstrong uses neurodiversity to encompass a new way of thinking about a variety of disabilities . . . by focusing on their potential benefits, rather than their problems . . . useful and uplifting.”
—Library Journal
“Armstrong argues that there is no ‘normal’ brain or ‘normal’ mental capability and that we are making a serious mistake in assuming that the kinds of differences we see in people with conditions like autism or dyslexia involve only deficits. People with these conditions also have strengths, he emphasizes, and by focusing on these, rather than on the ‘labels,’ we can find the modes of learning and living that can help them thrive.”
—Publishers Weekly
“In this engaging, accessible book, Armstrong offers a thoughtful consideration of cognitive diversity, and many practical suggestions for maximizing the potential of, and increasing respect for, those who are ‘differently brained.’”
—Kathleen Seidel, creator of Neurodiversity.com
“An engaging and provocative look into the emerging societal conversation about neurological diversity. Our country has adapted to many new ideas over the last century; acceptance of the broad scope of neurodiversity represents the next step forward.”
—Ari Ne’eman, president of
The Autism Self Advocacy Network
