After using the cards,  autistic and ADHD individuals feel seen and understood, and know that they are not alone.

I often spread them out on the floor and ask the client to choose the ones most relevant to them, or to create a 'yes' and 'no' pile. Chosen cards can then be explored and discussed using a neurodiversity-affirming approach.

They offer nine principles for facilitating change, reflected in deeply personal stories from the neurodivergent community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowerful and persuasive, this book is a clarion call for a kinder and more neurodiversity affirming society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBy Sonny Jane Wise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImprint:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJESSICA KINGSLEY PUBLISHERS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2023-11-21\" class=\"metafield-date\"\u003eNovember 21, 2023\u003c\/time\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePAPERBACK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-single_line_text_field\"\u003e216 x 138 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e230 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e208\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAUTHOR BIO-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSonny Jane Wise is a non-binary and disabled Autistic Bipolar ADHDer.
