Your Child is Not Broken

Part autobiography, part parenting manual, this updated edition of Your Child Is Not Broken is a no-holds-barred account of one woman's discovery of her child's neurodivergence.

An unapologetic, deeply moving manual for parents of neurodivergent children from Heidi Mavir, a late-identified, neurodivergent adult and parent to a teenager with autism and ADHD. 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.

Your Child Is Not Broken is THE book for parents who need permission to do things differently.
