This empowering book showcases successful neurodivergent role models from the worlds of sport, art, science, music and more. Written by a stand-up comedian, with illustrated portraits, it highlights the incredible achievements of the 30 neurodivergent people you need to know and shows that their neurodivergent traits helped get them where they are.
This collection of illustrated portraits celebrates the lives of influential neurodivergent figures who have achieved amazing things in recent times.

Showcasing these 30 incredible people, the extraordinary stories in this book show that the things they've achieved, created and inspired they did not despite being different but because they are different. From politicians, activists and journalists to YouTubers, DJs and poets, this book highlights a wide range of exciting career paths for neurodivergent readers.

At age 16, Joe Wells wrote Touch and Go Joe, sharing his experiences living with OCD from the age of 9. Since then, Joe has been working in comedy, in stand-up and writing for the BBC and magazines. Recently, he has been writing about mental health and neurodiversity.
