Parenting Different

Sarah Hayden

'This is the book l wish l'd had when my daughter Chlo was diagnosed autistic. The book l wish l'd had when l was parenting any of my children as they faced challenges or didn't fit the "norm". I've written it for every parent who wants to encourage and affirm their children for who they are, not who they're meant to be.' - Sarah Hayden

Parenting can be hard. Parenting a neurodivergent child in a neurotypical world can be even harder. But know you are not alone - all the reassurance, guidance and support you need is right here. Sarah Hayden, social worker, mother and neurodivergent human herself, helps you unlearn everything you thought you needed to know about parenting neurodivergent kids. Covering diagnosis, family life, siblings, schooling, puberty, therapy, food, peer relationships and so much more, Sarah provides new ideas and practical tools on how to support your child to be their best and most authentic self. Equipped with both professional expertise and hard-earned learnings from her own parenting journey, she also shares the story of her daughter Chlo Hayden's autism and ADHD diagnoses and how that transformed her expectations and parenting. There are insights from Chlo herself, Q&As addressing the questions Sarah is most commonly asked by parents and Sarah's own story of adult diagnosis.

With warmth, humour and just a little bit of sparkle, Parenting Different shows you how to help your neurodivergent child not just survive but thrive in a neurotypical world.
