The latest feel-good book packed with practical tips from the author of the smash-hit book on
ADHD autism and neurodivergence UNMASKED. Ellie Middleton is back with a new practical book
to help you work WITH your neurodivergent brain rather than AGAINST it. In each chapter she
writes about the eight executive functions that neurodivergent people struggle with including
working memory prioritisation and emotional regulation and shares 5 simple tips for readers to
try out including: - Creating a launch pad to remember the essentials when you leave the
house- Drawing a car park of ideas to help visualise your thoughts and manage impulse control-
The 5 4 3 2 1 mindfulness technique to prevent spiralling and regulate emotions- Breaking
up each day into Four Quadrants to approach every day with more flexibilityThis isn't another
journal or planner that claims to organize your entire life because Ellie is the first to admit
that she doesn't have things under control 100% of the time. This also is not a book about how
to fit into the neurotypical way of doing things (aka masking). Instead Ellie reveals why
society tells us that we 'should' do things (read: patriarchy ableism White supremacy) and
shows us how we can all free ourselves of those expectations feel empowered and ultimately
be more YOU.
