Open Loops: A Boy's Journey Through a Mind That Never Stops (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798178000984)

Eli Wren can hear the refrigerator change its voice. He can rebuild an engine, teach himself code, and find patterns in music that everyone else misses. He can also forget why he crossed a room, lose hours inside a single problem, and spend every conversation calculating how to appear normal. As childhood systems give way to adult consequences, Eli loses a scholarship opportunity, jeopardizes his job, and hurts the friend he never meant to ignore. Finding names for the way his mind works offers relief, but no instant cure. He must learn the difference between support and control, adaptation and erasure, focus and disappearance. Open Loops is a coming-of-age novel about ADHD, autistic traits, masking, sensory overload, hyperfocus, friendship, music, and the difficult freedom of accepting a mind that may never become quiet.
