Built Different

A Mechanic's Playbook For a Neurodivergent Brain

Sam Peters

Therapist. Speaker. Author.

I'm Sam Peters, a therapist, speaker, ADHD brain, and neurodivergent dad raising neurodivergent kids. I've spent over 20 years working with ND children, adults, and families, and I wrote the book I wish someone had handed me (or my parents) decades ago and am mounting a campaign to get it published and in your hands. "Built Different" isn't a textbook. It's aguide your nervous system should have come with. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself or you love someone who is, this book breaks down the science of how ND brains actually work; no jargon, no judgment, and gives you real, concrete plays you can run starting today.

"Sam is genuine, kind, funny and highly skilled. My son is always happy to see Sam, even when they do hard work together. My younger daughter is about to start with Sam and she’s thrilled. I trust Sam implicitly."

- Laura

Sam is intuitive and empathic. Coupled with his great ability to listen, he never disappoints me when he suggests tactics and solutions to tackle my problems. He always tries to draw me back to the trigger and let me look at the other side of the coin when assessing a situation - usually the brighter one.

- Charlie

Sam is a no-nonsense straight shooter. He's a kind and intuitive counselor. He treats each person as an individual and guides you to make positive choices. He works so well with families too. He’s amazing!
