Carrie Austin: 100 Things I wish I knew about ADHD and Autism when I was a teenager, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Researching neurodivergence can feel like a task in itself. After years of navigating psychology research and piecing together information following a late diagnosis of ADHD and autism, this book was created to make sense of what neurodiversity actually is, through lived experience.

There is no clear starting point with research especially when people like your parents want to help and you don't know how to explain.

It breaks down the everyday realities of neurodivergent life into short, easy-to-dip-into chapters covering avoidance and overwhelm, emotions, sensory experiences, friendships, motivation, burnout and everything in between.

Each chapter offers a clear, relatable explanation of the experience, alongside an explanation of what's happening in the brain and nervous system helping readers understand why things feel the way they do, not just what they look like from the outside.

This book is for neurodivergent readers who want to feel seen and understood and for parents, carers and educators who want a user manual of how to support.
