"A highly readable and engaging memoir of one boy's journey that will capture the hearts and imagination of parents and professionals alike; it is a story that demonstrates what is possible when we focus on a child's strengths."_____Charles D. Appelstein, author of No Such Thing As a Bad Kid
A mother, mental health professional, and former schoolteacher makes the case for supporting our children's differences and resisting the temptation to diagnose and medicate. Today, countless children are receiving mental health diagnoses, not because they have a mental health disorder, but because their personal attributes are challenging at home and/or incompatible with their school environments. Different is Not a Disorder outlines steps we can take to protect and harness our children's greatest strengths and respect their individuality. It is a poignant recounting of a child's life that could have turned out very differently.
