Press Reviews
Dr Patricia Rios MSc DClin Psych, AFBPSs CSci, Consultant Clinical Psychologist
I very much enjoyed this book! It was written so beautifully, clearly and in an accessible way. [It] makes a superb contribution to both parents and clinicians. The concepts in this book are very useful and enabling for parents who are struggling and feel lost. Parents with newly diagnosed children/young people will benefit from this book.
Dr. Georgie Siggers BSc (HONS), MBBS, MRCP, FRCPCH, Consultant Neurodevelopmental Psychologist
This book will be so helpful for the parents that I see and of course for all those families whose children are missed...I can't wait to recommend it.
Catherine, Glasgow
If I had had this book before it would have been a life saver for me.
Helen, parent
I am absolutely loving this book. I can't tell you how much I wish it had been around in those awful post-diagnosis days that turned into the most difficult years of my life.
Dani Zur, CEO of The School Run
A plain English guide to identifying and supporting your child with hidden disabilities. Breaks down stereotypes and gives parents knowledge and tools to advocate for their child.
Claire in Glasgow, parent
This book gave me permission to tear up the rule book and find ways that really supported my child.
Michelle
I'd say to parents, 'buy this book!'. A really enjoyable and insightful read.
Sarah, parent
I still remember clear as a bell, the awful, brutal way my son's diagnosis was inadvertently delivered and then leaving the paediatrician's office with an A4 sheet of organisations to contact. I would have so welcomed a copy of this book that day.
