Reading Leanne Maskell’s post on LinkedIn this morning about hyperlexia got me thinking about all the books I’ve read and all the information I’ve consumed through social media, articles, courses and podcasts over the last two years on my neurodivergence hyper focus. One of the first books I bought was Jenara Nerenberg’s Divergent Mind which has a chapter on sensitivity. This was way before I realised I was autistic. I was waiting for my ADHD assessment and trying to collect as much information as possible to reduce the imposter syndrome and internalised ableism. It was like reading an explanation of my life.
