Ad text

I never realised how scary parenting could feel until I saw parts of myself in my children and felt scared they would be treated the way I was when I was a child. I’m autistic, and when I was little I didn’t have the words to explain sensory overwhelm. I felt everything in my whole body but I didn’t know how to say what I needed, so people assumed the wrong things. When I noticed those same sensory signs in my children my fear wasn’t that they would be different, it was that they might feel alone the way I once did. That's why I wrote "When My Brain Is Messy". To give children the words I never had. So when their brain feels loud or bright or confusing, they have a way to say... “this is what it feels like for me.” Every page is written in simple language that children can understand even when speech is hard, even when overwhelm has taken up all the space. Parents tell me: “I watched my child point to a page and say… that dinosaur is me.” Therapists tell me: “This book gave my client the language they didn’t have.” Maybe inclusion begins when children are given words instead of assumptions. When the world listens instead of labels. 📖 “When My Brain Is Messy” Written by an autistic mum who didn’t have the words as a child so she wrote them down for all the children who need them now.
