AlbakiReads Editorial

A biographical collection centered on ADHD and achievement

Terrance Crawford’s illustrated collection brings together 30 profiles across sports, music, entertainment, science, business, and politics. Its mix of list-style entries, quotes, and traditional prose gives the book several ways to present the subjects and their accomplishments. The lineup includes contemporary figures as well as historical names; the description notes that ADHD is attributed to some historical figures as a belief rather than a certainty. A dyslexia-friendly font and sensory-friendly design are also listed among the book’s features. Together, the profiles frame neurodiversity through examples of achievement and representation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy
