不一样也没关系 Why Johnny Doesn't Flap: NT is OK!

Johnny is different.
He is never exactly on time,
he can't seem to stick to a routine and he often speaks in cryptic idioms.
Johnny is neurotypical,
but that's OK.

(Note: NT is short for neurotypical
- a term to describe people who do not have autism
or other neurologically atypical patterns of thought of behaviour)

A picture book with a difference, Why Johnny Doesn't Flap 
turns the tables on common depictions of neurological difference
by revealing how people who are not on the autistic spectrum
are perceived by those who are.

The autistic narrator's bafflement at his neurotypical friend's quirks
shows that 'normal' is simply a matter of perspective.

We love this book because it reminds us that we are all individuals,
with valid thoughts, emotions, concerns and perspectives,
worthy of respect and gentleness!
It is a breath of fresh air
to see things from a different angle.

我的好朋友强尼和我不一样。我们在一起时有很多乐趣，可有时候他的举止却有些怪异。他从不会严格守时，也不会按常规做事，他会直视你的双眼，还常说一些令人费解的话语。强尼是典型神经发育儿童。我喜欢他，而且我觉得做个NT也没关系。
