Publisher's Summary
A neurodivergent's guide to embracing your true self and finding your happily ever after.
Growing up, Chloé Hayden felt like she'd crash-landed on an alien planet where nothing made sense. Eye contact? Small talk? And why are you people so touch-oriented? She moved between 10 schools in 8 years, struggling to become a person she believed society would accept, and was eventually diagnosed with autism and ADHD. When a life-changing group of allies showed her that different did not mean less, she learned to celebrate her true voice and find her happily ever after.
This is a moving, at times funny story of how it feels to be neurodivergent as well as a practical guide, with advice for living with meltdowns and shutdowns, tips for finding supportive communities and much more.
Whether you're neurodivergent or supporting those who are, Different, Not Less will inspire you to create a more inclusive world where everyone feels like they belong.
Chloé Hayden is an award-winning actor and disability advocate, motivational speaker and social media influencer whose story of being 'different, not less' has attracted a worldwide following. She stars as Quinni in Heartbreak High, the Netflix remake of the iconic Australian series.

A rollercoaster of emotions
Such a beautiful story about strength. I learned a lot with this read, but related a lot to that made me feel like everything is going to be okay. I am weird, but, I am not alone.
Such beautiful narration, I could feel the emotions behind the words. I laughed, cried and felt such powerful emotions from her.

Thank you
Chloe tells it as it is! As a primary teacher and a parent of a Neurodivergent I found this a breath of fresh air. An accounting of what life IS for those living as divergent from society rather than included within it.

Title not really accurate
Although the insights from a neurodivergent person are really interesting and helpful to understanding more about this experience, the book seems to focus a lot on parenting neurodiverse children unlike the title and synopsis

The book we didn’t know we needed
The book the autistic community needs.
I felt so seen and understood. This book feels like multiple therapy sessions. This book gives me hope.
