"Let's tell our children about neurodiversity"". Talking to neurotypical children about neurodiversity can be tough as we struggle to find the right words. Bookosmia makes these conversations a lot simpler with their comic strips with @SaaraandMadhav and @autismtaleswithmugdha. It is time to teach our children to be inclusive. Because at the end of the day, we are not that different.

"...Not That Different addresses this (subject) uniquely. No lectures. Just a delightful offering using the universally loved medium of comics, making inclusion fun, colourful and aspirational. Familiar everyday characters that children can identify with, and situations from everyday life"
Merry BaruaPioneering Autism Activist and Founder, Action for Autism 
"Not That Different- a pioneering effort in children's publishing- placing the onus of inclusion on the mainstream and viewing the world of neurodiversity from the eyes of a neurotypical child"

"The neurodiversity movement views and respects the variation in human brain function and behavior as normal. While the variation is quite common, the understanding of it is quite uncommon, unfortunately. What better way to address this gap than to raise awareness in children through engaging comics created by children!"
