Miles Vorkosigan and “Excellent Life Choices”: (Neuro)Divergence and Decision-Making in Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga.

Contains spoilers for all of the books, particularly for the book "Memory".

Making good life choices is hard. Making good life choices when you’re neurodivergent is damn hard. Perhaps the most relatable and engaging such struggle I’ve read is that of Miles Vorkosigan, from Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga. Miles and his “excellent life choices” entertain, astound, and horrify me even as they dig at something deep inside my bipolar, ADHD brain.

Yes! I loved this article because people usually focus on the fact that Miles has physical impairment (brittle-bones-in-space) and Ira Gladkova recognizes that Miles thinks differently as well.
