The highs, the lows, and the delightfully neurospicy – the funny and heartfelt guide for parent raising neurodivergent children in a neurotypical world.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'One of the most loving and tender accounts of motherhood I've ever read' – Sarah Turner, bestselling author of The Unmumsy Mum

How many times have you heard ‘he doesn’t look autistic’ or ‘she seems fine to me’? Do you sometimes feel alone as a parent, like no one really gets it?

If any of that sounds familiar, it’s time to throw out the perfect parenting guides and join Lisa Lloyd on this rollercoaster journey of raising neurodivergent children who don’t fit the mainstream but aren’t considered ‘severe’ enough to be classified as having Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Lisa has been there and is ready to tell all – from the confusion of the early years and discovering your child is neurodivergent, to navigating a school system that doesn’t seem to fit, and the daily frustrations of picking your battles (and losing most of them).

Raising the SEN-Betweeners is a very honest guide for all those parents in similar shoes, navigating the challenges, joys and hilariously unpredictable moments every day. If that is you, this book will make one thing very clear: you are not alone.
