Bright Girl, Lacks Focus: A Neurodivergent Memoir: A Neurodivergent Memoir - Paperback

by Cindy Robinson (Author)

An unlikely self-love story between a broken girl and her strange brain.

Using a refreshing, unexpected, and clever combination of self-deprecation and profound insightfulness, Cindy Robinson shares the story of how her neurodivergent brain and childhood trauma aided both in her downfall as well as her ultimate triumph.

Her humorous and heartfelt vignettes invite you to walk alongside her as she attempts to prove she's "normal" (and fails repeatedly). Determined not to give up on herself, she ultimately finds solace in a surprising place... her strangeness. Witness her artfully blossom from self-hatred to self-compassion, highlighting the path along the way for any reader to follow. It is a beautiful and endearing story of unmasking, embracing, and enlightening.

"Cindy Robinson's memoir is a powerful and unforgettable read that will stay with you long after you turn the final page."

- Jeannine Jannot, author of The Disintegrating Student
