THE neurodiversity book section at Edgars Books & News is a veritable smorgasbord of  information for parents, carers, neurodiverse people and teachers.

Some popular titles include Unmasked, ADHD 2.0, I Am Autistic, Unique and We’re All  Neurodiverse.

Unmasked by Ellie Middleton, who was diagnosed with autism and ADHD in 2021, is the go-to book on neurodivergence for anyone looking for a diagnosis, trying to make sense of one, or trying to be a better ally.

World-renowned authors Dr Edward M. Hallowell and Dr John J. Ratey ‘wrote the book’ on ADD/ADHD more than two decades ago with their bestseller, Driven to Distraction. In ADHD 2.0, Drs Hallowell and Ratey, both of whom have this ‘variable attention trait’, draw on the latest science to provide both parents and adults with ADHD a plan for minimising the downside and maximising the benefits of ADHD at any age.

I Am Autistic by Chanelle Moriah is an essential guide to understanding autism for autistic people,  their families, friends and workmates. Chanelle found that there was little written from the perspective of someone who is autistic, so created the missing resource.

In Unique, beloved star of ABC TV’s award-winning Love on the Spectrum and disability rights advocate Jodi Rodgers shares stories from her three decade career working with the autistic community and calls for a more inclusive and accepting society where we are more empathetic and curious about all the relationships in our lives.
