Description
Ellie Middleton's latest book offers a practical guide to working with your neurodivergent brain, rather than against it. In this book, she explores eight key executive functions that often present challenges for neurodivergent individuals, such as working memory, prioritisation, and emotional regulation.
Each chapter provides five simple tips for readers to try out, including strategies for managing impulse control, regulating emotions, and approaching daily life with more flexibility. Middleton also shares her own experiences and insights, acknowledging that she doesn't have everything under control all the time.
This book is not about trying to fit into a neurotypical way of doing things, but rather about breaking free from societal expectations and embracing your individuality. By understanding why we're often told to conform, Middleton shows us how to feel empowered and be more ourselves.
