My Brain is Different: Stories of ADHD and Other… door Monzusu
It was interesting to hear the stories and compare them to my own experiences.
Absolutely fantastic. I'm autistic, I don't have ADHD, so not all stories were things I could recognize in myself (though definitely things I know friends struggle with), but yeah, a lot of stuff from myself too. And it was just so beautifully and compassionately told, even from the NT partners and parents (which can be rare). Just amazing. I highly recommend it.
This was a nice collection of stories from the POV of real people who have various developmental disorders. Sometimes hopeful, sometimes upsetting. It was also a very interesting look into how Japan in particular handles this sort of thing in comparison to my home country (USA).
There are some interesting tidbits about growing up neurodiverse or living with neurodivergent people but the storytelling is not particularly engaging. There are a lot of and-then-this-happened, and-then-this-happened transitions that make for a string of occurrences rather than a story. And there is a lot of repetition in the nine stories shared as most follow the exact same arc, with loads of depression, suicidal thoughts, bullying, and discouragement. Fewer stories told a little deeper might have held my attention better.… (meer)
