Neurodivergent, By Nature
Exploring the connections between nature and neurodiversity
Exploring the connections between nature and neurodiversity
A BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025
Exploring the connections between nature and neurodiversity
Time in nature supports our wellbeing. If we are neurodivergent, it can stimulate our senses, feed our curiosity, and help us find others with the same deep interests. But why do natural environments have such profound effects?
After receiving an ADHD diagnosis in his thirties, Joe Harkness began to question whether his bond with nature was intrinsic to his neurodivergence or something developed through his life choices. Keen to know more, he connected with other neurodivergent people who share his passion for the natural world. Threading their stories with his own, Joe explores why they chose to seek diagnosis, the ways they find solace and understanding through nature, and what led many of them into nature-related careers.
Drawing on his personal and professional experiences, Joe highlights the creativity, skills, and passion that can benefit communities, schools and workplaces when neurodiversity is welcomed and supported in all its forms.
