About this listen
The work of queer, autistic scholar Nick Walker has played a key role in the evolving discourse on human neurodiversity.
Neuroqueer Heresies collects a decade's worth of Dr. Walker's most influential writings, along with new commentary by the author and new material on her radical conceptualization of Neuroqueer Theory.
This book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the foundations, terminology, implications, and leading edges of the emerging neurodiversity paradigm.

Everyone should read/ listen to this book
I am going to buy this in hard copy too, so that I can share snippets with friends. It has been a awakening and beautiful insight into myself, my life and knowing there are others who understand and think the same is fantastic, a beautiful insight 👏 A must read for everyone no matter your belief on your neurological functioning.

excellent autistic insights for all
I am autistic one of the neurodivergent people that you probably meet daily, this book is a revelation for all, neurodivergent and Neurotypicals.. Helps all question all that we are an all we accept, happy to now class myself as neuroqueer & to discover my true self as we all can. it's a liberating affirming a beautiful read

Excellent
Neuroqueer as a term or verb is not necessarily what people may initially think, I would suggest reading Part 3 first.
I have always cited Nick Walker in my studies. This book took me on a journey clarifying some areas that have caused me some confusion in the past:
'An individual can diverge, but an individual cannot be diverse.
A group of neuro diverse individuals would be, for example, a group of people who were a mix of both neuro typical and diverse.
A group of people who with different neurodivergent conditions would be a group of people who are neurodivergent.
Autism and dyslexia are forms of neuro divergence, not forms of neuro diversity.
Multiple neurodivergence relates to a person who may have autism, dyslexia and ADHD for example.'
In my opinion, in terms of the pathology paradigm versus the neuroviversity paradigm, I have considered this as a vital theory to understand. Even when we work within the pathology paradigm, we can all work to do better.
An excellent read and resource.

Dull and patronising
Unfortunately the really great insights that the author offers in this book is lost in her ongoing rant (multiple chapters!!) about language. whilst this is an important point, it could have been made in a few sentences. Instead the author patronisingly and obsessively analyses the use of certain terms and instead of taking a moment to educate instead loses the reader completely.
