Nominated for the readers’ choice Skroutz Book Awards 2026.
If you’re holding this book and bought it before you’d even had a proper look at the cover, you’re probably an Up.
If you’ve been holding it for a while, feeling the paper and the typeface, and the title is stuck in your mind, you’re probably a Down.
If you’re holding it after reading the author’s bio, browsing the contents, and considering whether you have the time and what you’ll gain from it, you’re probably a Forward.
If you’re looking at it from a distance, comparing it with the books beside it, have already spotted similarities and differences, and want a little more time before deciding, you’re probably a Back.
And if you’re simply wondering what you are, how you were born and how you became who you are, then you’re in exactly the right place! If you’ve ever thought, even once, “Why don’t other people understand me?”… then this book isn’t merely interesting.
It’s urgently relevant.
Perhaps, in the end, the question isn’t who you are. It’s whether you’re ready to find out.
This book isn’t meant to “fix” you, but to help you let go of self-blame. To shift your focus from “what’s wrong with me?” to “how do I work?”
It aims to help you understand human neurodiversity not as a theory, but as a lived experience, and to make room for greater understanding, self-compassion, and a deeper connection with yourself and others.
So you can discover where you started, understand how you got to where you are today, and find your way to where you want to go.
