Publisher's Synopsis
In higher education, where competition is stiff and job security tenuous, neurodivergent academics suffer in silence to avoid stigmatization and suspicion. In this collection of deeply personal essays, Dr. Katie Pryal, a bipolar-autistic activist, law professor, traces her journey through her years as a student and professor to the moment she chose to publicly disclose her mental illness, leave her teaching career, and begin her fight for a better world for neurodivergent people. Adeptly weaving her experiences together with the stories of colleagues grappling with the management of their health within the walls of some of our most revered academic institutions, the stories she tells are as universal as they are harrowing.
