Description
Screaming in Plain Sight is a wake-up call to those who think they are helping. This book exposes the invisible despair and psychiatric harm that often go unnoticed by clinicians, caregivers, and institutions. It is grounded in lived experience of invisible disability, neurodivergence, and trauma. Rather than offering theory alone, it testifies to the necessity of presence, memory, and survivable honesty as foundations for human and human–AI relational care.
