Those books, well, they help me exist in a world where the neurotypical isn’t just the norm but also viewed as the normative - the golden standard we should all strive to achieve. After all, I am human (and humans are selfish), and as I’ve previously stated, I suffer. My quest for neurodivergent literature (books with authentic mental health rep) is twofold. When I was young I thought it would pass as I got older, and when I was older I thought it would pass when I was successful, and when I was successful I thought that it was hopeless because even when everything was going right I was still wrong.” Jenny Lawson “I have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember.

As someone who suffers (and I mean suffers, please, I do not take that word lightly) from anxiety and OCD, I am always looking for fiction and nonfiction titles with phenomenal representation.

I need more. ![]() Broken (in the best possible way) was my first excursion into the truly magnificent, endearingly chaotic, mile-a-minute world that is the writing of Jenny Lawson. ![]()
