D C London: Wired Different, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In a post-human world where psychology has been banned, four robot students accidentally start a neurodivergence acceptance club...and spark a revolution.

Quirk never wanted friends. But when he discovers an old pink hoodie from the extinct human civilization, his world turns inside out. He stumbles into a group of robots like him: a nervous bot obsessed with human artifacts, a hyperactive giant who never stops talking, and a frantic bot plagued by sensory issues.

In a society that has outlawed all knowledge of psychology, these four have no words for what makes them different. They've never heard of autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, or sensory processing disorders. But together, they inadvertently create the Wired Different club-a safe space where being different doesn't mean being broken.

As their small support group grows, so does the backlash. More students find hope and community. More parents push back with fear and misinformation. And when the cost of ignorance becomes painfully clear, the club must decide: Is acceptance worth the fight?

A graphic novel about neurodivergence, belonging, and learning that different doesn't mean defective.
