I don't have any specific books to recommend, but for my 2e ds I found it helpful just to google his disability + famous people and I found a lot of greats stories online.

I hadn't heard that Dav Pilkey was dyslexic... so I googled him smile He has a *fantastic* and brief autobiography on his website that I think would be great to show to a child who's feeling different due to LDs or ADHD. It's in cartoon format, a la Captain Underpants... and yes, I cried when I read the part where he's in college and has to be carried off to the hospital in an ambulance because he passed out when a teacher told him she actually liked his work For all that it's humor... I can so empathize with how that feels for kids with challenges. I'm sure that's how my ds felt at his first school.

It also ends with a bit of wonderful advice from Pilkey - so definitely a must read for parents of 2e kids, as well as for kids too.

Best wishes,
