Joe Harkness, author of the acclaimed Bird Therapy, investigates the connections between nature and neurodiversity

Time in nature supports our well-being. For people who are neurodivergent, it can also stimulate our senses, feed our curiosity and help us find others who share our deep passions. But why do natural environments have such profound effects? If children with autism, ADHD and other neurodivergences spend more time outdoors, could it improve their educational experiences and outcomes? And if they nurture nature connections into adulthood, could this form the roots of their identities?

After receiving an ADHD diagnosis in his thirties, Joe 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. Threading their stories with his own, Joe explores why they chose to get diagnosed, the ways they seek solace and understanding through nature, and what led many of them into nature-related careers. He describes the barriers they face in education and employment and the adjustments that can ensure they thrive in a world designed for neurotypical brains.

In his honest and funny new book, Joe highlights the importance of connecting with nature and the skills, creativity and passion we can bring to communities and workplaces when we welcome and support neurodiversity in all its forms.
