Much progress has been made toward these goals since the book came out, but there’s still a long way to go. Three years after the publication of NeuroTribes, I’m deeply grateful to readers all over the world who took its message of honoring neurodiversity and fighting for dignity, autonomy, and full inclusion for people with cognitive disabilities to heart. I’m honored to be working with Megan and Suzanne on The Taste of Salt. I also have a new literary agent, Suzanne Gluck of William Morris Endeavor, who has represented some of my favorite writers, including the late neurologist/author Oliver Sacks, who wrote the introduction to NeuroTribes. The book will be published in 2022 (or so) by Avery/Penguin Random House, and I’m happy to say that I’ll be working with Megan Newman, the astute and insightful editor who whipped NeuroTribes into shape. I’m happy to announce that I’m hard at work on my next book, The Taste of Salt, which will tell the human stories behind one of the most impressive, but little-known, medical successes of our time: the transformation of cystic fibrosis from an inevitably fatal childhood disease to a chronic and manageable condition of adulthood – a goal that will be within reach in the coming years.
