Wonderfully Wired Brains

Description

An informative and inclusive children’s guide to neurodiversity for those not in the know and to inspire children who are neurodivergent.

 Our brains are unique in the way that they function, work, and think. Neurodiversity is still a relatively ‘new’ concept that can be tricky to understand, but this book is here to help! This inspirational book written by neurodiverse author Louise Gooding challenges the misconceptions and shows how neurodivergent brains work a little differently.

It is common for neurodiverse people and those with neurological differences to feel as though they don’t fit in, but their extraordinary differences should be embraced. Wonderfully Wired Brains teaches children aged 7-9 all about the awesome abilities that neurodiverse individuals have; introduces them to advocates who are challenging neurodiversity stereotypes, and most importantly gives them a space to feel accepted.

This information and educational book for children features:

• Accurate, understandable explanations of diagnoses that impact the brain, including each area of neurodiversity and what it can or does mean for anyone with that particular neurological difference.
• A positive, friendly look at neurodiverse brains that debunks myths and stereo types.
• Informative, inclusive text is accompanied by colourful, modern illustrations.

The font and colours have been selected to accommodate a range of neurodiverse readers. Combining neurodiverse experiences with science, history and brain-bursting facts, Wonderfully Wired Brains has something for everyone!

This book will inspire inquisitive young readers and show them that not two brains function in the same way and that everyone’s differences should be celebrated. There really is no other book like it.
