“This is the book l wish l’d had when my daughter was diagnosed autistic. The book l wish l’d had when l was parenting any of my children as they faced challenges or didn’t fit the ‘norm.’ I’ve written it for every parent who wants to encourage and affirm their children for who they are, not who they’re meant to be.”
Parenting can be hard. Parenting a neurodivergent child in a neurotypical world can be even harder. But know you are not alone – all the reassurance, guidance and support you need is right here. Sarah Hayden, social worker, mother and neurodivergent human herself, helps you unlearn everything you thought you needed to know about parenting neurodivergent kids. Covering everything from autism presentation, diagnosis, family life, siblings, schooling and puberty to therapy, food and everything in between, Sarah provides new ideas and practical tools on how to support your child to be their best and authentic self. She also shares the story of her daughter Chlo? Hayden’s journey to receiving an autism diagnosis, how that transformed her own expectations and parenting, and how a family’s love ensured their child had a place in the world where the spotlight was on their strengths rather than their perceived “deficits.” With warmth, humor and just a little bit of sparkle, Parenting Different shows you how to help your neurodivergent child not just survive but thrive in a neurotypical world.”Author: Sarah Hayden
