Pete Wharmby

If you have an autistic child, you will be painfully aware of the challenges they face in education. Beyond the headlines on SEN provision are real children who struggle from day-to-day – how can we help them? 
 
In Different Minds, neurodivergence campaigner and former teacher Pete Wharmby shines a light on what it’s like to be autistic in Western school systems today, so that we can understand how to support our children through the most important years of their lives. Through a blend of story-telling, polemic and empathetic advice, Wharmby exposes the inadequacies of the current system, explains how differences have been mislabelled as ‘challenging behaviour’ and provides a blueprint for understanding and supporting young autistic minds. 
 
Galvanising and compassionate, this important book empowers parents, teachers and carers to take a stand against the vilification of our autistic school children and provide the scaffolding they need to thrive.

Angela Duckworth

‘If you read one book this year to level up your life, make it this one’ MEL ROBBINS 
 
'For anyone who feels stuck, this book offers a path to something new' CAROL DWECK 
 
From the #1 bestselling author of Grit, a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations - and how you can shape them to bring out your best. 
 
In Angela Duckworth’s first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed 'grit.' This new book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial. 
 
Duckworth’s in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm’s reach, your peers and mentors, and even where you live. Though you’re often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.In Situated, you’ll discover: 
<ul><li>Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another – and how you can harness that shift</li><li>The secret to conquering temptation without willpower</li><li>Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem</li><li>How the company you keep shapes the person you become</li><li>The most effective ways to help others succeed</li></ul> 
Highlighting four essential elements of successful situations, Duckworth shows how high performers like Taylor Swift, Michael Phelps and Jerry Seinfeld create situations that make the most of their grit. And with disarming honesty, she shares her own struggles with burnout and marriage – and how learning to change her situation, not herself, made all the difference. 
 
Whatever it is you want to achieve, there’s a situation that can make your journey easier. 
 
It takes effort to make your situation your ally – but a little effort goes a long way ... when you get situated.

Lisa Galley

Permission to parent your child the way they need you to 
 
In Parenting Your Autistic Child, parenting expert and SEN mum Lisa Galley offers a lifeline for parents raising autistic children. Parents who are exhausted by advice that doesn’t work, and the constant guilt of getting it ‘wrong’. It lifts the lid on the brain-body link, helping parents understand what’s happening inside their child’s nervous system in everyday moments like meltdowns, transitions, stimming, bedtime, or screen time – and why traditional strategies fail to take this into account. 
 
This isn’t a book full of theory and behaviour charts. It’s about real life: the 3:30pm meltdown, the refusal to get dressed, the soul-destroying school run. It shows parents exactly what’s going on in their child’s brain and body during those moments, and helps parents to understand why the normal ‘rules’ of parenting just aren’t working. 
 
With gentle science, practical tools, and deep validation, Parenting Your Autistic Child doesn’t just explain the ‘why’, it shows parents how to parent confidently, differently, and without shame.

Lisa Lloyd

So now it all makes sense. I am to blame for the ’tisms in this household, and the poor hubby is just stuck here in the middle of all of us, with our meltdowns, masking and madness. Once you know, it all starts to add up ... 
 
Like any new parent, when Lisa Lloyd became a mum, her own needs were put at the bottom of a very long list. But for Lisa, adapting to her new life felt almost impossible. The sensory overload, the upheaval, the lack of personal space – how did anyone do it? What she didn’t know was that this was the start of a journey that would lead to her finally discovering who she really is. 
 
In Unmasking Mum, Lisa shares the story of her autism diagnosis at age 41 to shine a light on the challenges of neurodivergent parenting. From autistic burnout, to being the ‘odd mum out’ and managing all the meltdowns (your own, as well as the kids’) – if you too are a parent with autism or ADHD, this candid guide and memoir will help you make sense of the rollercoaster ride we call ‘parenting’. 
 
With honesty, humour and useful tips along the way, Lisa is pulling off the mask. It’s stuck quite hard, but bit-by-bit, it’s peeling away, revealing the real Lisa who has been hiding all along.
