Meet a little autistic dinosaur with a big heart and even bigger feelings. From the challenges of loud noises and bright lights to the need for deep pressure and moments of calm, this heartfelt story offers a gentle, relatable way to explore sensory and emotional needs.

Written in simple, engaging rhyme and paired with vibrant illustrations, this book helps children:

Recognise and express their sensory needs. Feel seen and validated in their emotions. Discover techniques for finding balance and regulation.

Inspired by the real-life experience of an autistic mother, When My Brain Is Messy helps children make sense of their inner world in a gentle, reassuring way.

Loved by parents, educators, and therapists, this story invites empathy and connection while offering a comforting way to talk about big feelings and what it means when our brains feel messy.

Reviews for When My Brain Is Messy

"""When My Brain Is Messy is a beautiful rhyming story that follows a loveable young dinosaur through some challenges with sensory differences. It offers a number of regulatory techniques that kids will recognise (mine certainly did). Fun to read again and again, this children's book both validates and delights! Highly recommended"" Dr Kylie Brownfield, Clinical Psychologist"
