“Eros Different, Not Less – A Story About Autism”

“Eros: Different, Not Less – A Story About Autism” is a heartfelt journey into the mind of a child who experiences the world through a different lens—one full of light, sound, wonder, and sensitivity. Eros is a boy with wide, curious eyes and a heart full of questions. He doesn’t speak the way others do. He doesn’t always respond when called. But what if he’s not ignoring the world—what if he’s listening in his own way? This beautifully illustrated story invites readers of all ages to walk beside Eros as he navigates a world that often misunderstands him. Through gentle moments, emotional challenges, and quiet triumphs, Eros: Different, Not Less helps readers see beyond behavior and into intention. Told through poetic language and vibrant artwork, this book is not just about autism—it’s about perception, patience, and the power of being seen for who we truly are. Whether you’re a parent, educator, child, or simply someone who’s ever felt “different,” this story offers an opportunity to pause and reconsider how we view others. Eros teaches us that sometimes, what looks like disconnection is a deeper kind of connection—one that speaks through silence, stimming, and stillness. This is not just a book about autism. It’s a book about love. About understanding. And about the extraordinary beauty of the human mind. Written and illustrated by Nyx Sanguino, a mother, artist, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity, this book was created to shine a light on children like Eros—brilliant, sensitive, and often misunderstood.
