Walking and running at ten months, he didn‚Äôt speak until age five. ‚ÄúFrom the outset, Sam seemed to have his own idea for how life should be,‚Äù writes his father in the opening chapter, in which Sam pieces together his memories with stories told by his family to describe what it was like for Sam to express himself, from pulling his sister Eliza‚Äôs hair to wandering to H√§agen-Dazs at age three.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSam‚Äôs inability to speak concerned his parents, who consulted doctors to figure out what was wrong. One specialist said Sam would never graduate from high school, let alone go to college. Turning to writing, reading, and his own sense of humor to cope with constant bullying for his differences, Sam proved them wrong, earning a BA from Mitchell College in Connecticut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAny family can find hope in Sam‚Äôs story. Anyone who feels different, misunderstood, bullied, or unfairly treated in life can find light in the way Sam charted his course. This is a story of neurodiversity, but it‚Äôs not just for people dealing with ADHD, autism, or any other diagnostic label, because everyone has unique ways of thinking, processing, and behaving. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDon‚Äôt Pull Your Sister‚Äôs Hair\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is about the moments where neurodiversity creates opportunity.
