This magazine is for all young people, and it might be especially interesting to anyone who thinks they're neurodivergent. We’ve made it with girls in mind; we hope that gender non-conforming folks enjoy it too, as well as boys.

​

Its vision is to create a beautiful, whimsical world which invites young people on a journey of creativity, self-discovery and connection.

​​​

​​Inside:

🎨Artwork and poetry created by young people
❔Life stories and neuro-affirmative advice from neurodivergent adults
🤗 Self-care ideas about the senses and friendships
✏️Interactive pages: colouring, doodling, wordsearches, bingo and quizzes
😊Comic strips about times when it's tricky describing your feelings

​​​​​

Much of the content has been created by neurodivergent young people; we’ve also commissioned original illustrations from a neurodiverse group of amazing adult artists. All of what’s inside is completely original and unique, and not available online.

​

48 pages, full colour, staple bound. 

​

What do we mean by 'being neurodivergent'?

If you're neurodivergent, you might find that you think and feel in a different way from other people you know. You may not have a name for this, and that's perfectly ok. 

​

Or maybe you have a diagnosis of autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, Tourette's Syndrome, something else, or a combo of these. And that's perfectly ok too.

​

Whoever you are, you're in very good company! There are gazillions of other awesome neurodivergent people out there in the world. And there's lots of them in this magazine too :-)
