Summary
Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are - these are what Deborah Reber is calling the “differently wired” kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s, giftedness, anxiety, sensory processing disorder, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But for the parents who love them, the challenges are just as hard - struggling to find the right school, the right therapist, the right parenting group while feeling isolated and harboring endless internal doubts about what’s normal, what’s not, and how to handle it all.
But now there’s hope. Written by Deborah Reber, a best-selling author and mother in the midst of an eye-opening journey with her son who is twice exceptional (he has ADHD, Asperger’s, and is highly gifted), Differently Wired is a how-to, a manifesto, a book of wise advice, and the best kind of been-there, done-that companion.
On the one hand it’s a book of saying NO, and how it’s time to say no to trying to fit your round-peg kid into society’s square holes, no to educational and social systems that don’t respect your child, no to the anxiety and fear that keep parents stuck. And then it’s a book of YES. By offering 18 paradigm shifts - what she calls “tilts” - Reber shows how to change everything. How to “Get Out of Isolation and Connect.” “Stop Fighting Who Your Child Is and Lean In.” “Let Go of What Others Think.” “Create a World Where Your Child Can Feel Secure.” “Find Your People (and Ditch the Rest).” “Help Your Kids Embrace Self-Discovery.” And through these alternative ways of being, discover how to stay open, pay attention, and become an exceptional parent to your exceptional child.

This book is a lifeline
If you have a child with SEN (or think you may have) this is a must read. It will restore your sanity. And calling all teachers and parents of ‘typicals’ -please read this too. With this book, along with Deborah Reber’s podcasts, you’ll have a mentor and friend with you all the way to give you advice point you in the right direction. Thank you Debbie, you are a star.

Intuitive, Intelligent and Brilliant!!
I have spent 10 years attempting to parent my Differently Wired Son, consciously, gently and in a heart centred manner ~ not always successfully, may I add. Deborah highlights and compounds SO much of what I have learned to be true for myself, but confirmation from another is such a beautiful thing. Having also spent years doing ~ the work ~ I can hugely recommend Deborah’s self development suggestions, which she calls ~ tilting. Every tilt will bring you closer to yourself and your child. I could write a book about this book, but suffice to say it brought me re-assurance, comfort and empowerment. Be aware of one hazard ~ you may get a sore neck from all of nodding along you will undoubtedly do. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Deborah for all you do to shine awareness on our awesome Differently Wired Children.
