Dysregulation – An Altered State

Dysregulated – Navigating the Altered State is a ground-breaking manifesto that dismantles traditional, deficit-based approaches to neurodivergent distress. Moving beyond the standard “handbook of management,” Lane Anthony introduces a radical framework of Awakening, Change, and Embrace to help parents, educators, and clinicians understand the biological reality of the neurodivergent experience.

By reframing meltdowns and shutdowns as physiological Altered States, the book exposes the hidden neurological interference and systemic biases that often lead to punitive sanctions. Anthony provides a tactical blueprint for transformation, offering a suite of clinical instruments, including the Dynamic Insight Screener and the Institutional Accountability Audit, to help move institutions from a culture of surveillance to a culture of sanctuary.

This essential guide empowers advocates to stop trying to fix the individual and start fixing the environment, ensuring that every neurodivergent superpower is protected, celebrated, and understood.
