The stories of achievement will be encouraging for parents of a young child with an autism spectrum disorder and will be especially inspirational for adolescents and young adults who are feeling despondent that autism could deprive them of a successful career or relationship. This book has antidepressant qualities to rival those of medication.Dr. Tony Attwood Read more From the Author Recently, I had a lady walk up to me in the airport and say, “Your book, Thinking in Pictures, saved my marriage. Now I understand my engineer husband, and we are able to work things out.”Each contributor in this book has a unique story, and my intent is that their stories will provide hope and insight to individuals on the spectrum, as well as parents, teachers, and professionals.People on the autism spectrum always keep learning. It is never too late to learn new skills, improve relationships, or learn better work skills. To grow, a person on the spectrum has to “stretch.” Stretching is a good analogy, because sudden surprises cause fear. Even individuals my age can learn new skills. When I was writing this introduction, I talked to a family member of a woman in her 60s who has autism. Within the past year, she discovered that the way she dressed herself improved her life, and now she enjoys nicer clothes. The mind of the person with autism can always keep learning. It is never too late to change. A person on the spectrum needs an employer, spouse, or friend who will calmly coach him when he makes social mistakes. He has to be instructed on how to behave, like a character in a play. In my own life, I have gained great insight from reading the writings of other individuals on the spectrum. - Dr Temple Grandin Read more See all Editorial Reviews ## Images ![Different...Not Less: Inspiring Stories of Achievement and Successful Employment from Adults with Autism, Asperger's, and ADHD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Da+xRL3ML.jpg) ![Different...Not Less: Inspiring Stories of Achievement and Successful Employment from Adults with Autism, Asperger's, and ADHD - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31CToi1vLBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it *by M***K on August 25, 2013* I was skeptical about this but it turned out to be my favorite book among all those I ordered. I thought it will be boring. I was so tired of all the life guides giving advice and stuff. Now I see that all I needed was to read the stories and thoughts of other people like me. I found many things to relate to, I found hope, inspiration and motivation. The stories are engaging and easy to read. A really nice collection to inspire me to go on at those times when I feel broken and less than. I am an adult who never has worked before, I am 28 years and I am starting a university this year. I am starting a new life and I will need these stories to remind me that I am so much more than I could imagine. I can be one of those successful people in this book. Now I know I can.This book is good for parents too. They can learn how to ensure their child's success. I can give a short formula: don't see them as broken but just like any other kid with their own specific issues, support their interests, treat them equally with everyone else. See their potential and encourage them to use their gifts. Fight off any injustice coming their way and teach them to advocate for themselves. They ARE equal with everyone else and no one has a right to say otherwise.I am really tired of the "pathologizing" trend. Everyone has his/her own specific issues. Having difficulties doesn't mean we should stop living our lives. We should just learn to work with them. And being "in your own world" is an advantage here. It means you can't hear others say that you can't. It's what they always say, all those losers who are jealous that someone is actually doing something and couldn't be bothered to move themselves a bit.Do what you love and make your living of it! I send everyone hugs and hope you are using your gifts and enjoy life as it's supposed to be. We are uniquely gifted. We can't throw that away. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr.Temple Grandin she really does care *by S***S on March 1, 2018* YES DIFFERENT NOT LESS NOR BROKE Dr. Temple Grandin you help me have self-respect for myself and I help others read this book and start respecting themselves regardless of what differences they have I have autism slightly and I’m not embarrassed to say THANK YOU DEEPEST FROM MY ❤️ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very inspiring book. a must have for young adults struggling with a "disability." *by M***Y on May 11, 2019* This was a great idea Grandin had to get stories from people on the spectrum, with ADHD and have them tell their stories. Different does NOT mean less, it in fact, often, means MORE!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/3617016-different-not-less-inspiring-stories-of-achievement-and-successful-employment](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/3617016-different-not-less-inspiring-stories-of-achievement-and-successful-employment) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
