(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jessica Cruickshank. Twenty-three short profiles, accompanied by black-and-white illustrations, tell the stories of celebrities—including Simone Biles, Billie Eilish, Daniel Radcliffe, and Dav Pilkey—who have neurodivergent conditions such as autism, ADHD, Tourette’s, dyslexia, and OCD. The accessible if repetitive text describes how each person’s differences shaped their life, and how they overcame challenges to succeed and inspire others. As a whole, the book highlights the variety among neurodiverse people and helps to demystify and normalize their experiences.
