[FOR LIBRARIANS & EDUCATORS: A timely graphic novel addressing neurodivergence, mental health, and suicide prevention - with curriculum-ready resources included.]

How do you find your place in a neurotypical world when you are "wired different" and don't fit in? Sometimes, you have to make your own place.

Quirk never wanted friends, but the discovery of an old pink hoodie turned his world inside out. This young bot quickly stumbles into a group of neurodivergent robots like him: a nervous, obsessive bot fixated on the former human civilization, a hyperactive giant who never stops talking, and a frantic bot plagued by sensory issues. In a post-human world where psychology has been banned, these four have no words for what makes them different. With no knowledge of autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or sensory processing disorders, the group inadvertently starts a neurodivergent acceptance group in their school. It took founding the Wired Different club to realize they're not broken, just wired different.

Their small support club unlocks freedom for other bots to come forward and find community, but it also unleashes misinformation, distrust, and fury. As more students find hope, more parents push back. And when the cost of ignorance becomes painfully clear, the group must decide if acceptance is worth the battle.

A graphic novel about neurodivergence, belonging, and accepting that different doesn't mean defective.

Written after the loss of his teenage son to suicide, author/illustrator D.C. London (9 published graphic novels, Emmy-nominated filmmaker) creates an authentic tale for the 15-20% of young people who are neurodivergent, as well as those who love and support them.
