Kids Journal
My Brain Works Differently (And That's the Point)
A Journal for Neurodivergent Kids Who Are Learning What That Means
Neurodivergent children who use this journal write their own story of their brain — not the clinical one.
For the autistic, ADHD, or sensory-different child ages 6-12 who has just been given a word for why their brain works the way it does — and who needs a place to figure out what that word means for them, in their own words, at their own pace.
The Name It First Experience
You got a word for why your brain works the way it does — and this journal is the place to figure out what that word actually means for you. My Brain Works Differently gives children ages 6 to 12 who are autistic, have ADHD, or experience sensory differences a journal for naming their own experience — what your brain is good at, what is hard, what you wish people understood, what it is actually like to be you — in your own words, at your own pace, with no wrong answers. This journal is for the neurodivergent child who needs a place to tell their own story — not the diagnostic one — and for the parent who wants to give them the page to write it on. A Journal for Neurodivergent Kids Who Are Learning What That Means starts with the question that matters most: what is it like to be you?
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What is it like to be you — in your own words, not what a diagnosis says?
- What do you wish people understood about how your brain works?
- What is something you are really good at that is connected to how your brain works?
