Simply Divergent

Do you wear a smile on the outside but a frown on the inside? Have you ever felt completely misunderstood, out of place, or entirely overwhelmed by the relentless noise of the world?In Simply Divergent, system architect and technology leader Kenneth McKinney strips away the corporate facade to offer a raw, unvarnished, and deeply empathetic look into the reality of living with non-apparent disabilities. After receiving a life-changing Bipolar Type I diagnosis at age 37, alongside navigating a lifetime of ADHD, Kenneth chose to stop masking. Instead of viewing his beautifully chaotic mind as a limitation, he remapped it as a system superpower.Equal parts intimate memoir and cognitive guide, this book invites you directly into the daily adventures of a wonderfully divergent household. From Kenneth's personal journey navigating profound manic highs, crushing depressive lows, and a transformative stay in a behavioral health ward, to the unique neurodivergent journeys of his wife (ADHD and Autism) and his son (ADHD, Anxiety, and Dyslexia), Simply Divergent proves that a different perspective is exactly what the world needs.
