Forever on Fire
A Love Letter to Never Fitting in
by
Angela Taylor
What does it mean to be wired differently? To be what experts describe as “neurodiverse”? Forever on Fire: A Love Letter to Never Fitting In explores these complex and sometimes confounding questions. Author Angela Taylor’s humanizing account of self-discovery offers a fresh perspective on how neurodiverse people aren’t “broken,” but in fact, have unique attributes and abilities that should be celebrated. Taylor, who is both neurodiverse and a longtime mental health and accessibility expert, shares personal anecdotes and journal entries, plus her own original poetry and artwork, to take readers deep inside her journey of discovery, healing, and supporting communities. This memoir is underpinned with research and expertise in this field, which helps unpack various types of neurodiverse challenges, root causes, medical interventions, and practical day-to-day coping methods. Forever on Fire is an inspirational midlife awakening about living your dreams while coping with trauma to find hope, understanding, and acceptance.
For more than 20 years, Angela Taylor has brought her lived experience as a neurodivergent person and survivor of childhood abuse to her career in the mental health sector in Manitoba. She is currently completing her PhD on this topic and has made it her mission and life’s work to advocate for children wired differently. Angela Taylor lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with her three children.
