Your child is not broken

parent your neurodivergent child without losing your marbles
Heidi Mavir
Book - 2023

"Your Child Is Not Broken" is THE book for parents who need permission to do things differently. Heidi Mavir almost died working out why that was necessary. Part autobiography, part parenting manual, "Your Child Is Not Broken" is a no-holds-barred account of Heidi Mavir's discovery of her child's neurodivergence. It is the funny, irreverent and brutally honest story of Heidi's fight to be seen, heard, and supported, whilst swimming against a tide of parent blame, ableist stereotypes, and the weight of other people's opinions. It is the book no one has dared write but every parent needs to read. "Your Child Is Not Broken" is an unapologetic call to arms for parents and carers of Autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent children. "Your Child Is Not Broken" is for you if: - You love or care for a neurodivergent child or young person. - You are a wrung-out, worried parent who has had enough of no one listening. - You lack the confidence to trust your gut. - You wish you had the gumption to tell a few more people to bugger off. - You need to know you are not alone. Heidi's hilarious anecdotes and heartbreaking storytelling offer validation, comfort, reassurance and wisdom to parents who are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.
