Lisa Carey LOVE IN THE ASYLUM

Quote: It's not good for her to have too many stimuli when she's just crawled back from the edge of psychosis, suicide or mania. Boredom is much more therapeutic.

Well-written and insightful, leaving one with more questions than it answers, Carey's novel is one powerful argument after another for expanding the definition of neurodivergent. We know so little about how our own brains work, I am convinced we are all on a spectrum, when it comes to defining normal.
