Summary
"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

Brilliant。 I read it in one sitting nodding vigorously throughout。 If you are trying to get SEND support for your kids this is a must read。

The only book I’ve ever completed within 18 hours of arriving。 An empowering， reassuring， eye-opening， and evidence/research based look at the challenges parents of neurodivergent children and young people face。 Excellently articulated， it gives permission to be ‘that’ parent， fighting for the needs of our children， and the respect they deserve。

A lovely account of being a NT parent to a NT child that's honest and makes you feel like you're chatting to a friend。 Has given me food for thought as well as a feeling of not being alone。 A lovely account of being a NT parent to a NT child that's honest and makes you feel like you're chatting to a friend。 Has given me food for thought as well as a feeling of not being alone。 。。。more

The perfect book for giving you confidence to do what you need for yourself and child（ren）。 Don’t sacrifice the relationship with your spicy child for the benefit of institutions and systems set out to make them “fit in” like everyone else， even when it’s to their detriment。 It’s okay to be “THAT” parent。

Very very relatable read， it’s the book I needed a decade ago， I’m posting a copy to our school and one to friend who needs it too， if you have a neurodivergent child in the school system then I’d recommend you read it and send it to those who may not get what you’re going through

A sweaty， no-hilds-barred account of what it's like to parent a child with autism。 I wish I'd have read this book years ago， as it would have help massively with experience of dealing with the way the world treats neurodiverse children and how parents can be better advocates for them。 A sweaty， no-hilds-barred account of what it's like to parent a child with autism。 I wish I'd have read this book years ago， as it would have help massively with experience of dealing with the way the world treats neurodiverse children and how parents can be better advocates for them。 。。。more

This book is honest， hilarious， and REAL。 I loved this book。 Heidi Mavir is funny AF。 She writes with no B。S。 and doesn’t hold back。Parents of Autistic and neurodivergent kids will relate so hard to her experiences and will feel less alone after reading this。 You may cry， you will laugh， and you will learn。I recommend two others alongside Your Child Is Not Broken: https://medium。com/neurodiversified/t。。。 This book is honest， hilarious， and REAL。 I loved this book。 Heidi Mavir is funny AF。 She writes with no B。S。 and doesn’t hold back。Parents of Autistic and neurodivergent kids will relate so hard to her experiences and will feel less alone after reading this。 You may cry， you will laugh， and you will learn。I recommend two others alongside Your Child Is Not Broken: https://medium。com/neurodiversified/t。。。 。。。more

Honest， easy to read， and life changing！ I highly recommend for any ND parent！ （Even NT as well - some of the insights in this book blew my mind！）

An honest， easy to read account of one mum’s journey to acceptance of neurodiversity。 It’s not a guide to your child， more a conversation with a filthy friend where they help you to acknowledge and accept that you and your children are different， and thats ok。 It’s refreshing to read a book that allows you to trust yourself， to question the things you get told all the time when dealing with ‘professionals’， to let you know that your feelings and thoughts are completely valid and ok。 The system i An honest， easy to read account of one mum’s journey to acceptance of neurodiversity。 It’s not a guide to your child， more a conversation with a filthy friend where they help you to acknowledge and accept that you and your children are different， and thats ok。 It’s refreshing to read a book that allows you to trust yourself， to question the things you get told all the time when dealing with ‘professionals’， to let you know that your feelings and thoughts are completely valid and ok。 The system is broken， not the child。It’s not perfect but it’s a good read and left me feeling like I wasn’t alone。 Sometimes thats exactly what you need。 。。。more

Empowering honest affirmingI was encouraged to read this when struggling to find support for my undiagnosed 15yr old show dropping out of school at the final hurdle。 I'm exhausted and feeling so very alone。 This was both a virtual hug and empowering pep talk。 I laughed out loud and cried。 I can't thank the author enough。 The wonderful humour and frankness had me nodding and smiling and crying because this book knows what I'm dealing with right now。 Cannot recommend it enough if you're trying to Empowering honest affirmingI was encouraged to read this when struggling to find support for my undiagnosed 15yr old show dropping out of school at the final hurdle。 I'm exhausted and feeling so very alone。 This was both a virtual hug and empowering pep talk。 I laughed out loud and cried。 I can't thank the author enough。 The wonderful humour and frankness had me nodding and smiling and crying because this book knows what I'm dealing with right now。 Cannot recommend it enough if you're trying to find an explanation for what you see that the 'professional's do not。 。。。more

This book is a breath of fresh air。 So often as a parent/carer of a neurodiverngent child/teen/adult you can be told that you should listen to the professionals or that you are too soft。 This book allows you to listen to your instincts to protect your child， look after them and tell everyone else to get on board or get off。

One of the best books i read and could relate to being a ND parent to ND children。 Easy to read， and it all made sense。 It comes with humour too
