Lauren is approaching middle school after a significant disruption in her elementary school year which isolated her from most of her friends. As she begins to spend more time among her peers, again, Lauren is discovering that things are not the same. Lauren starts to notice differences in herself and her peers. Increasingly frustrated with her attempts to fit in with others, Lauren finds comfort in the company of her mom as well as in her growing sense of self acceptance. Uniquely Me: Another Lesson For Lauren highlights neurodiversity among school age children. Neuordiversity refers to the many ways in which the brain is wired and can include a number of neurological differences or developmental conditions such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, etc. This story is for elementary schoolchildren who may have felt excluded from their peers or for those that may be confused by other children who seem different from themselves. It is an informational and heartfelt story which aims to encourage not only awareness about individual differences, but also acceptance and inclusion for all.
