Brilliant deep dive into neurodivergence: provoked many eureka! moments. * Catherine Gray, author of The Unexpected Joy of Being Sober * I absolutely LOVED Ellie's book - her advice is reassuring, liberating and empowering and will help you be more you * Emma Reed Turrell, author of Please Yourself * This book will change lives! A cracking read and a must for folks with brains who do things differently * Heidi Mavir, author of Sunday Times Bestseller, Your Child Is Not Broken * I loved it. I'm so impressed by Ellie's courage and wisdom, this book is comforting and clever, but most of all kind * Daisy Buchanan, author of Insatiable * As someone who is neurodivergent, I think Ellie Middleton is the perfect voice to represent what is a beautiful but vastly misunderstood way of being. Her work is so important, this book will be a gamechanger. * Joshua Fletcher, aka @AnxietyJosh * A compassionate and informative account of how to work with your brain and the patchwork nature of diversity. Neurologists listen - you need to use this in your diagnoses * Camilla Pang, author of the prize-winning Explaining Humans * Ellie's book is like having a heart-to-heart with your BFF who just 'gets' your brain! Packed with personal & relatable stories, practical tips, and still manages to educate at the same time. It's a must-read to make our world more inclusive and understanding for neurodivergent people. * Vanessa D’Souza, The Autistic Chef * This book will change your life - and the world. An inspiring & validating reminder for neurodivergent people that they are not alone. I can't wait to recommend this to the people I coach. * Leanne Maskell, author of ADHD: An A-Z * I'm in awe - can't stop reading. So many lightbulb moments and so beautifully written, beautiful gorgeous incredible. * @FeelGoodClub * Finding out that you're neurodivergent generates as many questions as it answers. Ellie knows this all too well, and takes us on a journey through her deeply relatable story of self-discovery and quest for knowledge, repackaging her intensive research in a digestible, easy-to-use handbook for understanding autism and ADHD. Unmasked is the compassionate, practical and thoughtful guide to neurodivergence we've always deserved. I wish this book had existed when I was growing up as an undiagnosed AuDHDer, and I know that reading Unmasked will give parents, doctors and teachers the knowledge and confidence to finally accommodate and celebrate our differences. Ellie is going to change - and save - lives with this book. * Milly Evans, author of HONEST * Finally! A book that helps neurodivergent folks understand HOW our brains work and - most importantly - how to work WITH our brains, in a world not built for us. In How To Be You, Ellie serves up pearls of wisdom and practical ""life hacks"" needed to navigate life as a neurodivergent person, with the acknowledgement that existing in a neurotypical world can be really flipping hard * Heidi Mavr, author of Your Child Is Not Broken * Like a hug for neurodivergent brains * Camilla Pang, author of Explaining Humans *
