This non-fiction book about neurodiversity should be in every KS2 classroom (and is appropriate and informative for older children too!) to help develop understanding and acceptance in the next generation. It is an informative book about such an important and complex subject.

It is well-written and talks about the positive aspects of neurodiversity, as well as some of the challenges faced, without reinforcing labels or stereotypes. The book provides helpful vocabulary and simple explanations to aid children in understanding how different people’s brains are wired differently. The information about masking was particularly helpful, and it was good to see this included. The book is presented in a logical way and the information is offered in short, manageable chunks, which helps.

A great read, with lots to learn for adults and children.
