Mr. Garcia gives us a rare look into his professional life as a political journalist enmeshed in DC politics as he navigates the world as a neurodivergent POC. His story is compelling and authentic. He bridges the gaps in his personal life that most neurodivergent people find as they live, grow and function in a world of, by and for neurotypical people. Some basic aspects of his everyday life are challenging in simple and surprising ways that require major adjustments. And it's not just about him and his own life. We get to meet other neurodivergents he knows who also bring their strengths and constructive, productive approaches to their homes, families, and careers. An uplifting book to open our eyes and minds!
