Books & Writing
A space where stories bridge East and West, and writing becomes cultivation.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Different, Not Less is a deeply personal reflection on raising a neurodivergent child within the realities of modern Asian life.
Drawing from her dual background in Western medicine and Eastern philosophy, Su integrates neuroscience, behavioural therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Daoist thought, and daily practice into a single, compassionate framework for parenting.
Rather than “fixing” difference, this book explores how parents can harmonise structure and softness, discipline and flow, science and spirit — so the child’s nature is guided, not suppressed.
It is both memoir and meditation — a story of how learning to understand a child’s rhythm becomes a mother’s own cultivation.

AUTHOR’S NOTE
This book began as a record of trial and error — countless therapies, teaching methods, and traditional remedies — but slowly evolved into something quieter: a rediscovery of balance.
Through this journey, Su learned that real intervention begins not from control, but from awareness — when the modern and the ancient learn to coexist within the same breath.
COMING NEXT
Different (^) But More, Not Less
The upcoming continuation explores the developmental arc of childhood — focusing on the “golden years” between 6 and 8 — and how Western developmental tools and Eastern sensory cultivation can merge to help neurodiverse children grow in body, language, and spirit.
BEYOND THE PAGE
Su’s work extends into The Celestial Truth Saga — a metaphysical fiction project exploring consciousness, mythology, and resonance — expanding the same principle that underlies her parenting journey:
that all life, when understood in rhythm, reveals the Way.
