A Failure of Imagination: How the Healthcare System Fails Neurodivergent People—And What We're Doing Instead

The healthcare system doesn't work for a lot of people. When it doesn't work, for some people, that may be the difference between life and death. This book is the story of the first four years of All Brains Belong VT—a working, replicable model of neuroinclusive care built on the radical premise that access comes first, and people closest to the problem should shape the solutions. This is a model where healthcare is more than medical care—it's addressing loneliness, work, school, and the rest of what gives life meaning. Physician and founder Dr. Mel Houser shows how isolated people came into community with one another, found their way to better health, and built something anyone can replicate today.
