It's about autism, but it's so truth for ADHD and many other disorders...
“The spectrum has become so accommodating that I fear that it has now been stretched so far that it has become meaningless and is no longer useful as a medical diagnosis.”

Try Libby, if you're into eBooks. It shows how many people are waiting for the book you're holding and make you feel extra guilty if you're not reading lol
I wrote a little bit about my ADHD diagnosis (and the frustration that came afterwards) on this review: morebookslesspills.substack.com/p/book-rx-11...
Wrote this one to revisit Michael Pollan's "The Omnivore's Dilemma", and the book felt more urgent now than it was 20 years ago:

Thanks for reading it! Yes, absolutely! The "labeling" of a nuanced and instable disorder is a shortcut that people might take for face value and make their lives worse. (i.e. My experience with ADHD is full of these moments)
"Chaos ADHD" for the win!
The History Nerd in me want to read "Paul & Nero", but "Killers of Roe" seems more urgent!
I just finished reading "Blood and Treasure", and in one of the chapters the author says the Witch hunts were in part due to a harsh winter that killed the crops. The whole obsession with witches was a coverup for bigger problems. Does "How to Kill a Witch" mention that?
Exactly! I'm still recovering from "No More Tears" (the one about Johnson & Johnson). Terrific book but makes you distrust big pharma even more!
"A World of Resistance" looks pretty good!
Yes! Please share! Loved your Substack, let's talk and collaborate somehow.
ADHD pride looks good on you 💙

It's superficial sometimes, but it's worth reading as it gives you some different perspectives on alternative treatments. (Also, the audiobook is only 8 hours!)
I'm not, but before publishing anything the feeling is always the same: "this is not great, but here we go"

New review live: open.substack.com/pub/morebook... #booksky #nonfiction
Did anyone read “Blank Space” by W. David Marx?
I was looking forward to reading it and, now that I've finished, the feeling is “meh”. I agree with his central thesis, but I was expecting more insights, like in the author’s previous work “Status and Culture”. What do you think?

Narrating an epic journey that goes from comedy to drama, “Don Quixote” explores how society interacts with psychotic experiences and schizophrenia‑spectrum. Read the full review:

the location of the Library and the URL of Libby!
Is this the original cover? Pretty cool (and so different from the one I had back in the early 2000s)
The cover of "Water Margins" would make me read it first! (But I don't any of these books)
Book Rx #11 - The Arrogant Ape — The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters - by Christine Webb open.substack.com/pub/morebook... #adhd
My last post is about the book “The Arrogant Ape”. It’s a non-fiction exploration of the damages made by “human exceptionalism” (i.e. humans thinking they’re the only ones that think and feel).
