Why is this book important?
Children are reaching an ever increasingly early age when they search the internet independently. Neurodivergent children are then faced with a tsunami of negative information about themselves relating to their diagnosis.
Disordered, impaired and not being good enough is the message we are all being told. But what if there was an alternative? There is!
Understanding neurodiversity enables parents and children to learn about disability and differences positively, promoting self-esteem and acceptance.
