The feel-good book packed with practical tips, hacks and habits to learn how to work with your neurodivergent brain, not against it - from the author of the smash-hit book on ADHD, autism and neurodivergence, UNMASKED.
‘The book truly changed my life… a must read for newly diagnosed neurodivergent people!’ 5-star reader review
Following on from her acclaimed book, unmasked, autistic and ADHD creator, writer and consultant Ellie Middleton returns with the empowering and practical guide to break free from expectation and be more you.
In each chapter, she writes about the eight executive functions that neurodivergent people struggle with including working memory, prioritisation and emotional regulation.
Written in easy-to-read, bite-sized chunks whizzy brains like hers, Ellie shares 40 simple tips for readers to try out, including:
· Creating a launch pad to remember the essentials when you leave the house
· Drawing a car park of ideas to help visualise your thoughts and manage impulse control
· The 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 mindfulness technique to prevent spiralling and regulate emotions
· Breaking up each day into Four Quadrants to approach every day with more flexibility
This isn’t another journal or planner that claims to organize your entire life (Ellie is the first to admit that she doesn’t have things under control 100% of the time). This also is not a book about how to fit into the neurotypical way of doing things (aka masking).
Instead, Ellie reveals why society tells us that we ‘should’ do things (read: patriarchy, ableism, White supremacy) and shows us how we can all free ourselves of those expectations, feel empowered and, ultimately, be more YOU.
