An updated edition of the Sunday Times bestseller.
Your Child Is Not Broken is THE book for parents who need permission to do things differently. An unapologetic, deeply moving manual for parents of neurodivergent children from Heidi Mavir, a late-identified, neurodivergent adult and parent to an autistic/ADHD teenager. This updated edition includes information on Pathological Demand Avoidance, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, an interview with Heidi's son Theo and more. Follow Heidi's irreverent and brutally honest story of her fight to be seen, heard and supported, while swimming against a tide of parent blame, ableist stereotypes and the weight of other people's opinions. Your Child Is Not Broken is a call to arms for parents and carers of autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent children. It is the book that no one has dared to write but every parent needs to read. Heidi's hilarious anecdotes and heartbreaking storytelling offer validation, comfort, reassurance and wisdom to parents who need it the most.Languages:EnglishPublisher:BluebirdISBN-13:9781035030576ISBN-10:1035030578UPC:9781035030576Book Category:Family & RelationshipsBook Subcategory:Autism Spectrum Disorders, Parenting, Learning DisabilitiesSize:7.75 x 5.15 x 0.72 inchesWeight:0.48Product ID:SC8REHQM8W
Heidi Mavir is a late-identified, neurodivergent adult. She is a public speaker, advocate, author of Your Child Is Not Broken, podcaster, and parent to an autistic/ADHD teenager. A trained Mental Health First Aider and CPD Accredited Trauma-Informed Professional, Heidi uses her knowledge, learning, and experience to help other parents and carers to become powerful advocates for their neurodivergent kids. She has built an online community of over 6000 families, supported by parent professionals and SEN advocates, who want to improve opportunities for autistic learners. Heidi has been featured in The Sunday Times, The Guardian, and BBC National News. In 2019 she founded EOTAS MATTERS to support families like hers whose children and young people need education outside a school setting.
