UNMASKED - The Ultimate Guide to ADHD, Autism and Neurodivergence

''This book will change lives! A cracking read and a must for folks with brains who do things differently'' Heidi Mavir, author of Your Child is Not Broken
''I loved it. I''m so impressed by Ellie''s courage and wisdom, this book is comforting and clever, but most of all kind'' Daisy Buchanan, author of Insatiable and Careering
*****
Ellie was 24 when she learned she wasn''t broken. She wasn''t a bad person, she was neurodivergent. Her late diagnosis of ADHD and autism was like a lightbulb being switched on and she could finally start to heal from the trauma of being un-diagnosed and mis-understood for so long.
Since getting her diagnosis, Ellie has made it her mission to change the way we think about autism, ADHD and neurodivergence and in UNMASKED she shares what she has learned along her journey.
Written in a bite-sized style for whizzy brains like hers, Ellie shares chapters on mental health, pretty privilege, how to navigate the workplace and the importance of self-diagnosis so that we can all better understand and celebrate neurodivergence, and ultimately make the world a more inclusive place.<>
