A direct and helpful guide to scratch the surface to learn more about neurodiversity!
April 1, 2024
The book dives into everything from autism to ADHD and dyslexia and, honestly, it's written in such a down-to-earth way. Sometimes these topics can feel a bit overwhelming but they've managed to make it super approachable. Whether you're diving into this world for the first time or you've been around the neurodiversity block, there's something in there for you.
It's not just about understanding these conditions on a surface level. The book is packed with practical advice. If you're a parent or a caregiver, there are tips on how to support a neurodivergent person to thrive. And if you're in the workplace, there's guidance on how to create an inclusive environment for everyone.
It's all about seeing the world through a different lens. Embracing the idea that our brains work in unique ways and that's totally okay. Actually, it's more than okay — it's something to celebrate. The book illustrates how neurodivergent traits can be a wellspring of creativity, offering fresh perspectives and solving problems in unique ways.
In essence, the book serves as a compass, guiding us towards a future where neurodiversity is not just accepted but appreciated and leveraged. It's a testament to the strength found in differences and the potential that lies in understanding them.
It's a must-read for anyone eager to contribute to a world where every mind is valued and every individual has the opportunity to flourish.

Here is a well-organized book with appropriate icons, with explained medical terminology acting as eye opener to all.
Here is a book on a difficult, complicated neurodiversity subject which gives a *clear message* to each one in the category of patients, parents, paramedical staff, and medical fraternity,
" Neurodivergents' brain function in a different way, should not be looked as if it is a disease ."
Out of box approach to solve complicated problem is their speciality.Let us make the most of it.
Congratulations to these three authors John, Khushboo and Ranga for their enduring work to simplify subject in an interesting manner.

Excellent resource

As a late-diagnosed autistic adult, I wish I had had this resource 4 years ago when I was getting my own diagnosis!
The other things I wish I had been included were:
- How to share your accommodations at work
- Information on the PDA profile

May 15, 2024Didn't read the whole book start-to-finish, but it's written so you don't have to. I learned a lot from this book.

This was decently helpful but it got very very repetitive. The first few chapters were the best. I felt like this could’ve been condensed by about 150 pgs. But being written by neurodiverse folks, I understand why it was repetitive; they’re passionate about the topic so they tend to repeat stuff. As a very very neurodiverse girl, I do the same thing. I will keep giving a bajillion examples about a subject I’m excited about until my friends/family be like “Dude stop. Enough examples lol.” So I get it but did make for a pretty tedious read and I literally just skimmed the last like 50 pgs or so cause it was pretty much just a word for word repeat of stuff that had already been said. 😂

Great book, well-organised & a lot of practical advice. I just wish there had been a bit more information on each of dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. Especially when the autism & ADHD sections were so detailed. What I DID find particularly useful was chapter 10, and the section profiling your neurodivergent traits. Wish I’d had it a month ago when my boss asked the whole team to fill in forms about our learning styles!

It is what it is. Extremely broad so not a lot of super practical information and because it's not meant to be read straight through, but rather for readers to flip to relevant parts, a lot of information seemed to be repeated.
