Read about the day it dawned on Abigoliah that she was in special education classes (she just thought she was special!) and Joe's life-changing discovery that sun cream can come in powder form.
We can't stress this enough; this isn't a self-help book. Nor is it a book making any bold sociopolitical claims other than this one; Neurodivergent people are a community of real human beings with many shared experiences and as such we have a right to celebrate those experiences with silly stories about pet tortoises, one night stands, and showing the doctor your bumhole.
We hope that by showing you the funny parts of our differently wired brains, we can encourage you to be yourself and most importantly laugh. Don't worry, you're in the company of people who 'get it'.
Hilarious stories about the moments in your life which are different, difficult, or more exciting when you have a differently wired brain.
