Daniel Tammet: Life On The Spectrum image
Synopsis:

Tired of stereotypes of autistic people, author Daniel Tammet set out to meet nine other neurodivergent people from across the globe. Nine Minds: Inner Lives on the Spectrum is a kaleidoscopic view of living on the spectrum, and the rich diversity of being neurodivergent. Tammet reflects on the nine extraordinary people his book follows, which includes a bestselling author, a detective, and an award-winning mathematician. Tammet is joined in conversation by chair, Ben Alderson-Day.
