Everything But Typical

Bloomsbury presents Everything But Typical: Influential Neurodivergent People Who Have Shaped the World by Margeaux Weston read by Megan Gage

Celebrate remarkable neurodivergent people who have forged unique paths to success—in sports, education, entertainment, media, and more!

Neurodivergent people have unique brains. They defy norms in the way they think, learn, process information, and engage with others and the world around them. These differences may help them not only to see the world in uncommon ways, but to forge one-of-a-kind paths.


Get to know neurodivergent people making their mark in all kinds of careers: a record-breaking Olympic gymnast, a visionary science fiction writer, a resolute climate activist, an innovative trading card game creator, and many others.

Everything But Typical is a tribute to people who saw the world differently and conquered it in their own way—and an inspiration for young readers who will grow up to do the same.
