Maria Delponte: Climate Change and Neurodiversity, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Climate change and neurodiversity-two topics that appear to have nothing to do with each other. But what happens when you combine them? This book shows that the perspective of neurodivergent people opens up new ways of understanding the greatest crisis of our time-and perhaps also of coping with it better. Climate change affects everyone, but not in the same way. For many neurodivergent people-whether on the autism spectrum, with ADHD, dyslexia, or Tourette's-the contradictions between knowledge and action are unbearably clear. Their clarity, consistency, and creativity make them uncomfortable but indispensable voices in a world that all too often prioritizes compromise over honesty. This book combines scientific analysis with a socio-political appeal. It shows how climate communication can be made inclusive, how sustainability in everyday life must take neurodiverse realities into account, and how education, work, and politics benefit when they view diversity not as a problem but as a resource. A work for anyone who wants to rethink climate justice-scientifically sound, socially relevant, and with the courage to look at things differently.
