By Chloé Hayden

Publisher Description

An empowering lived-experience guide to celebrating and supporting neurodivergence from 24-year-old actor, social media star and advocate Chloé Hayden.

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. It was only after a life-changing group of allies showed her that different did not mean less that she learned to celebrate her true voice and find her happily ever after.

Different, Not Less is a moving, at times funny story of how it feels to be neurodivergent as well as a practical guide, with insights on how autism and ADHD present differently in females, advice for living with meltdowns and shutdowns, tips for finding supportive relationships, communities and workplaces 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.

“This was good. However, it felt repetitive at times. I did learn a few things and enjoyed it. While I know this was written prior to 2024, I have to mark it a star down for the mention of Musk. Even just one mention is one too many for me.”

“I definitely had teary moments during this one. The first half is much more anecdotal/about Chloe’s story, and the second half had some helpful insights and resources to help with more specific difficulties living with autism. Perhaps I’m a pessimist when it comes to ‘Happily Ever After’, though I’m sure many people will find this book more uplifting and hopeful than other resources. Chloe has written into words one warm hug (or weighted blanket, if you will).”
