Summary

Welcome to the painfully honest brain dump of Greg Heffley—a scrawny, mildly chaotic middle schooler just trying to survive the daily dumpster fire that is puberty, peer pressure, and parents who do too much.

From sibling sabotage to awkward friend politics to the infamous Cheese Touch (aka social death by dairy), Greg chronicles every cringe-worthy moment with doodles, drama, and the unshakable belief that he's this close to greatness... if only the universe would cooperate.

Let’s be real: this series is ND gold. Nowhere in the series does it say anyone is neurodivergent—but come on. The red flags are neon.

⚡ Oversharing? ✅
⚡ Sensory disasters? ✅ (Gym class, anyone?)
⚡ Social anxiety wrapped in sarcasm? ✅✅✅
⚡ Executive dysfunction disguised as “bad decisions”?
Greg invented that genre.

Whether you're ADHD, autistic, dyslexic—or just a little weird in the best way—Greg’s middle school meltdown diaries are basically a neurodivergent coming-of-age playbook. It's messy. It's relatable. It's hilarious. And honestly, the real hero is Rowley for surviving it all with his innocent optimism intact.
