In this manga essay anthology, follow the true stories of nine people (including the illustrator) navigating life with developmental disorders and disabilities. This intimate manga collection follows nine adults with developmental disorders as they outline their struggles and triumphs. Experience the stories of a high school dropout’s new path to education; a person seeing the world through new eyes thanks to their medication; a father and daughter learning to thrive together, and more. This manga illustrates diverse anxieties but also self-empowerment in learning to navigate a world not built with everyone in mind.

Nothing has helped me understand ADHD like this book did. I have supremely leveled up my empathy skills. It also has great segments on learning disabilities and autism.

So good! Real stories from real people with just the right amount of details. We get a real sense of how their brains work. It is amazing.
