Different, Not Less

Different, Not Less

A young adult friend with autism suggested “Different, Not Less,” a memoir written by Chloe Hayden, an Australian author/actress/advocate with autism who stars as “Quinnie” in “Heartbreak High” on Netflix.  Her character is a high school student with autism. Sharon C., also a member of our NSM team, was also led to “Different, Not Less” by a friend with autism, and provided the book to our SUMC Library Committee. So it sits on our shelves, endorsed by two people from the neurodiversity committee.
