Abigail Balfe is a queer, neurodivergent auDHD author, illustrator and Emmy award-winning creative, recognised as one of the Top 50 Influential Neurodivergent Women of 2023. She was late diagnosed as autistic at 33 and ADHD at 37. Abigail's debut book, A Different Sort of Normal, is a heartfelt, humorous and informative true story about growing up autistic and not knowing she was autistic. This full-colour illustrated book was Puffin’s lead non-fiction title of the year, longlisted for the Blue Peter Book Awards’ Best Book With Facts, and shortlisted for Children’s Non-Fiction Book of the Year at the British Book Awards. A Different Sort of Normal was included in the 2022 Read for Empathy collection, BookTrust’s School Library Pack 2022-23; and National Literacy Trust’s 2023 World Book Day scheme, gifting it to 500+ schools across the UK. A Different Sort of Normal has been translated into Vietnamese, Hebrew, and republished in the USA and Canada under the title A Different Kind of Normal. The US edition received a starred review in the School Library Journal, and a double-page spread in the New York Times. Original storytelling has always been at the heart of Abigail's career and she has spent 12+ years leading social media campaigns for some of the biggest TV & entertainment clients in the world including Sony Music, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Netflix. Abigail’s storytelling mirrors how her mind works, creating a funny, accessible, authentic, and deeply insightful exploration of the auDHD experience.
