Unmasking mum: a very honest guide to life as a neurodivergent parent
by Lisa Lloyd
On the shelf? Just pop in.
Like any new parent, when Lisa Lloyd became a mum, her own needs were put at the bottom of a very long list. But for Lisa, adapting to life with kids was an uphill struggle - one with frequent meltdowns, from her, as well as them. When both her children were diagnosed with autism, it all started to add up. Her behaviours growing up, the jobs she couldn't keep, all the emotions - maybe there was a reason for it all. In this book, Lisa draws on her story of being diagnosed with autism at age 41 to shine a light on the highs and lows of parenting when you're neurodivergent and offer helpful tips she's learnt along the way. Lisa is pulling off the mask, for every parent who feels they too are 'weird'. The mask is stuck quite hard, but bit-by-bit, it's peeling away, revealing a Lisa who has been hiding all along.
