A couple of years ago Dylan discovered the idea of neurodiversity, the idea that people can be neurologically diverse. This idea was very unpopular amongst many groups who insisted that this was both wrong and dangerous. Dylan set out to write a book (I Am Not A Freak) for children who believed that their mind needs to be corrected. Dylan now considers himself to be an Autism Ambassador for the Kirch Center at University of Rochester Medical Center Strong in Rochester, NY. Dylan’s goal is to inform as many people as possible about the radical thought, that people can be diverse in mind.
Dylan Dailor is as 16 year old Autism and Neurodiversity Advocate who is also the author of the book I Am Not A Freak
