About this ebook
Get the Summary of Jenara Nerenberg's Divergent Mind in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: Divergent Mind is a long-overdue, much-needed answer for women who have a deep sense that they are “different.” Sharing real stories from women with high sensitivity, ADHD, autism, misophonia, dyslexia, SPD and more, Nerenberg explores how these brain variances present differently in women and dispels widely-held misconceptions (for example, it’s not that autistic people lack sensitivity and empathy, they have an overwhelming excess of it).
Nerenberg also offers us a path forward, describing practical changes in how we communicate, how we design our surroundings, and how we can better support divergent minds. When we allow our wide variety of brain makeups to flourish, we create a better tomorrow for us all.

Insights from Chapter 1
#1
The worlds of medicine and psychiatry have been plagued with words of weight that greatly affect the lives of women. Words have meaning, and if your world view is shaped by archaic, sexist, or otherwise negative words, you will inevitably have a negative view of yourself and your body.
#2
While some doctors and scientists tried to examine and understand mental illnesses, they were largely looked down upon and ignored until the late 1800s.
#3
The rise of psychiatry in the United States was not caused by any one factor, but by a combination of factors, the most important of which was the growing influence of medicine on the country.
#4
The history of the DSM is a history
