Summary | "Covering the spectrum of neurodiversity, the book features a range of inspirational people, from actors and entertainers, to athletes and activists, and it shows young neurodiverse readers that often what makes you different can be your key to success. The chapters feature biographies that expand out on to a theme, such as the importance of lived experience in discussions of neurodiversity, challenging stereotypes, representation and creativity. This book capitalises on the current 'heroes' trend in children's publishing, but for a slightly older audience, focussing on famous neurodivergent people with accompanying portrait illustrations"--Provided by publisher. |
