Sobre IBD

Survival should not require silence.I built a career in higher education while quietly falling apart.On paper, I was a professor with credentials, publications, and a future. Behind closed doors, I was navigating bipolar disorder, autism, stigma, and a system that was never built for minds like mine.In Life of the Mind Interrupted, I pull back the curtain on what it means to survive academia while neurodivergent and disabled. I share the hard truths about disclosure, discrimination, and the exhausting calculus of asking for accommodations.If we want universities to change, we have to tell the truth about how they fail us and how they can do better.Read this if you want to learn about:¶ mental health in academia¶ higher education culture¶ invisible disabilities¶ stigma and disclosure¶ allyship and accessibility¶ personal essays¶ institutional reformLife of the Mind Interrupted is the insightful first book in the Real Talk on Mental Health and Neurodiversity nonfiction series.If you like candid memoir, practical guidance, and bold calls for change, you’ll love Katie Rose Guest Pryal’s essential read.
