Richtig anders, anders Richtig! Selbstbewusst neurodivergent

And this feeling is conveyed to them: people with ADHD should just try a little harder, and autistic people should please not be so sensitive. With reading and spelling disorders and dyscalculia, you need a lot of luck to avoid being sidelined early on. Yet today people know how neurodivergent brains work: differently, but correctly! 


Winners of the Youth Literature Prize Kathrin Köller and Irmela Schautz explain the exciting world of neurodiversity and take a positive look at the diversity of our brains in this interactive event. Because whether neurotypical or neurodivergent, we are all just right the way we are!


Kathrin Köller [she/her], who is confidently neurodivergent herself, believes that all brains are needed. To achieve this, barriers must be broken down and diversity embraced. Kathrin Köller specializes in educating people in an engaging way and explaining complex topics in a clear and concise manner. The author and translator lives in Berlin.
