Are you the parent of a child with Autism or ADHD?

Are you an educator looking to gain a new perspective on neurodivergence?

This book can help!

Terms like neurotypical and neurodivergence are being used more frequently than before; what do they mean?

And what are the implications of an ADHD or autism diagnosis?

If you are ready to navigate the challenging yet rewarding journey of parenting or educating a child with a diagnosis, this book is for you.

Combining years of professional and personal experience with general best practices, author Kim Gallo wrote this book as a comprehensive guide to help you shift your thinking.

By breaking down complex ideas and terminology, she takes the mystery and confusion out of neurodivergence. She also stresses the importance of pivoting your thinking patterns to create a healthier, positive environment.

I enjoyed this narration, and the well-written information was thought-provoking. This audiobook opens up an interesting discussion concerning educating a neurodivergent child. Specific learning disabilities are challenging to identify sometimes and can go unreported for years. As parents, we don’t want to hear the words connected to a disability. We must know that a disability like cancer does not mean we can’t eliminate the condition. Sometimes medication or procedures are necessary to eliminate life-threatening conditions. The same is true inside the classroom and at home. This book provided a learning journey to understand better how to help these students in my classroom.

Autism spectrum disorder, or ASD, includes what used to be called Autistic Disorder, Asperger syndrome, or Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified, all of which affect a person’s social and emotional skills and nonverbal communication. ASD has many similarities to ADHD, but there are also differences between the two.

ADHD and ASD are neurodevelopmental disorders (brain development has been affected in some way). That means both conditions/disorders affect the central nervous system, which is responsible for movement, language, memory, and social and focusing skills. Several scientific studies have shown that the two conditions often coexist, but researchers have not yet figured out why they do. Classroom activities that support a community classroom design and strategies for teaching students can help make learning accessible to all students. In 20 years of teaching, not enough professional development has been given to the general education teacher to help support students with ASD or ADHD and other brain development disorders. I found the information about the three types of self-control: impulse, emotional, and movement control to be the most helpful.

I like the thought provoking approach of this book. A girl on my team has just been diagnosed with adhd so this book has been super helpful. It has opened my mind and given me a great perspective on the feelings and actions of someone with adhd or somewhere else on the neurodivergent scale. The author includes studies and other scientific research. I have definitely learnt a lot

I love how the author adopted a more personal, empathetic approach to the information in the book, instead of just highlighting the facts. This gave the read a more nuanced approach, and it became easier to understand the need for more empathy, understanding, and individualized approach, which the author calls for.

This book highlights the unique strengths of ADHD, which is rarely the case in most online materials. This is a wonderfully humanistic approach, and it made the read so much better.

An empathetic approach

I have two autistic nephews, and this book gave me incredible insight into how they feel and why they react the way they do. It helped me understand their primary communication issues, the way their brains function, and why they react in so many situations. The clarity and relief I gained from this book was astounding. They have always had food issues and now I understand why. Noise issues are a constant problem and again now I understand why this causes them to feel uncomfortable and stem. Knowing why gave me a true sigh of relief. For anyone working with autistic people, I highly recommend this book.

I'm a former educator who's worked with children with ADHD and autism, and I also have ADHD myself. I thought this book provided an excellent representation of working with kiddos who may be struggling in these areas. The book gave thorough, up-to-date information and resources that any parent, teacher, caregiver, etc., could benefit from. I think there's often a stigma associated with the neurodivergent mind, and the information presented in this book is a great step toward removing it. Highly recommend.

Incredibly Helpful

as a former early age educator and now a mommy, understand neurodivergent children can be a real struggle if you don't have any former help or education, Thankfully we have now a wealth of knowledge regarding children with autism or any other disorders that use to be frowned upon now it's very common to have an autistic child or know someone that does.

This book sis filled with great information that is backed up and including the author's personal experience with her own children and being in the medical field.

I wish this book was around in my early years of education I think I would have been able to help out a lot more, but I am paying it forward with this review and encouraging anyone who wants to learn more abut these diagnoses and using a different lens this is your book!

10/10 recommended!

Great resourceful book
