Different
by Sally Clarkson and Nathan Clarkson
A mother and her son, who has OCD, ADHD and other diagnoses, write alternating chapters about raising and being an out-of-the-box child. Honest about conflict and hope.
Read it if…
you parent a neurodivergent child and need company, not a protocol.

Skip it if…
you want clinical guidance; this is memoir.
Try instead: Mom Heart Moments →
Three things you will actually use
- Different is not broken.
- Advocacy means seeing the child, not the label.
- Hope is built over years.
Do this first
Read Nathan's chapters first to hear the child's side.
Our verdict
Mother and son, both honest.
