“My brain is different” is a collection of stories about nine adults with developmental disorders (mostly ADHD and ASD) illustrated by an author who struggles with ADHD. After finding out about her condition at a late age, she decides to try and communicate these stories from real individuals to us in the hope of shedding a light on the hardships that neurodivergent people encounter in our predominantly neurotypical society. These range from bullying to work related issues, interpersonal conflicts, communication problems, harassment, discrimination, familial disputes, and many more. Despite the seriousness of some of these situations (i.e. suicidal ideations, physical violence..), it’s delivered mildly withoutlingering too much on details.
It’s told in a very straightforward way from each character’s point of view.
And it’s really easy to sympathize with them. The art is very clean and simple. It’s far from comprehensive but it’s definitely better than nothing. I really recommend reading it. Took me two hours to complete it if I remember correctly.
