Publisher's Summary

NEW 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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

LOVE!

This book was such a lovely listen!

The author’s narration had me laughing and crying and I feel more empowered to parent and support my son. And myself! I also loved the additional section on RSD added after the original was published. RSD is something I’ve known about for about 5 years but for 25 years prior to that I just thought I was bonkers - emotionally spiralling out of control at the smallest things thanks to my inner voice.

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, Heidi! You’re changing lives❤️
